Thanks all!

My boy did that friday, nothing to worry about, unless he doesn't eat at all

Hmm, I seriously hope you didn't feed a snake to a rat! Thats an expensive addiction you know! :p

Well...im glad that there is nothing to worry about, yes i meant he ate the rat. lol. I was tired, and not thinking straight. He did eat it, and has kept it down. Never had a problem with regurgitation. And after the first time he ate, he has consistantly been eating every week. He has just never dropped it then started eating again, so i wasnt sure.

Thanks all!!

I was like "...Help?" And my husband though it was finny. Especially when the snake was done eating and tangled himsel fin my hair. Silly lil guy.:)
