    Over feeding?
    Hey guys, I fed my baby BCI last night and I am worried I overfed it. It was on mice fuzzies and last night I gave it a rat pinky. The pinky left a really big bulge. It had been 10 days since its last meal because I was on vacation. Do you think I will be fine or should I possibly be worried?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    It's fine. You should see the bulges my baby BCI gets from rat fuzzies. ;)

    I agree with everyone else, it should be ok as long as you keep the warm side at the proper temperature for your snake to digest the meal. The only problem you might run into is if the snake can't digest the whole meal, it may regurg....but where you used a pinkie, it shouldn't be a problem, as that type of food is digested a LOT easier than a prey item with hair. ;) Best of luck!

    Just leave em be, and he should he ok. A little big once in awhile probably can't hurt. As long as you aren't doing that frequently. I have heard that you are supposed to slow grow boas, that they can get obese easily.

    Thank you for the replies everyone. It's been two days and he has been fine so I think I am good. I was just nervous because I have been feeding pretty average size meals and this one was big.
