    Her belly is pink b/c she is probably going into a shed. I'm not quite clear on how she ended up w/both rats, but she should be ok, however you want to be careful not to overfeed b/c obesity can be a problem for captive BPs. When their feeding instinct is active, they will sometimes eat as much as they are offered whether they are really hungry or not. This is also sometimes called 'power feeding' and should be avoided as it's not a healthy practice for your snake.

    yea I dont understand how she got 2 rats either....but I think she'll be just fine, just dont do it as a regular thing but for now she should be fine. (and you could also wait a while to feed her again like maybe a week in a half)

    Glad she ate them . . . both. Were they live? I'd be REALLLY careful leaving two in there aside form all the good points made above. If you haven't yet try fresh killed or transition to frozen-thawed,
