Feeding Accident

I'll add my two cents here. I would have to agree with Jotay. Examine the mouth. I used a small rubber spatula. I had my husband help, and checked the mouth thoroughly.

I had a rodent stuck halfway in the mouth for 18 hours!! I saw him eating, and then he had disappeared into his hide (he was in shed), which was completely normal. Anyway long story short, I removed the mouse and examined the mouth. No redness. No cuts. I kept a very close eye on him, and went ahead and offered food the next week. I've had no problems since. THANK GOD!! :D

If you noticed any cuts or inflammed areas, then I would go to the vet. ;)

That trick with the rubber spatula is great Christie! We use it now if there's any need to check mouths, we have a few in various sizes and they work perfectly without damaging the snake at all.

I'd check the mouth well over the next week then if all looks well try a feeding. If there's any problems or you are concerned then the best bet is to always seek your vet's advice.

Ok, thanks everyone for the advise which is all great and thanks Jotay for clearing that up for me. Anyways, I havent had the chance to look in it yet since my dads been gone all day and my sister wont even look at a snake, so obviously not trying to get her to help hold him. But ill let you know whats up after my dad gets home.thanks again
