and she started climbing the cage n stuff

Was the mouse bigger around than the snake? Because if it was the same size or smaller you won't always see a lump

it was the same size lol sorry first time feeding the beast but another thing she started rubbing her head ppl say its to reline the jaw but idk if her head is shedded like she had a bad shed and i got some zoo med reptile shed helper thing and it did a great job but her head its kind of shiny but not in like fresh skin its like tinted you could say I would get photo but i dont want to handle her as i dont want her spitting the mouse back at me so yea ._.

edit: the thing is called Repti shedding aid and it says it can be sprayed on eye caps but idk

Easy fix for the shed is to dampen some sphagnum moss or even damp paper towels and put it in a hide for her. It will take care of the shed

ok il put some damp paper towels later i want to give her some rest for now

If the prey item doesn't make a small bulge, you might be able to get a slightly larger prey item for next time. A snake's muscles are very good at compressing the rodent into a squished rod of furry meat. Think about how a large mouse can squeeze through a small hole. The snake swallowing the mouse does the same thing but it doesn't "spring" back to the original shape.

Here's a chart Eric put together as a guideline....I follow it and my snake is doing just fine.

Sometimes they do that head rubbing to start or get the dead / shed skin off .... I'd start spraying the Viv a few times each day ..plus follow all the other advice of course
