    My male is 2 and a bit and he weighs around 1.5kg.
    A meal that size would be almost certain to result in a regurge and at the very least would leave a markedly visible swelling. If you can't see a bump then it looks like an escape is more likely. The overwhelming consensus here is that two BPs should never be housed together though.

    Good luck!

    I would also like to see proof that she ate him and that he did not just escape.


    There is a common misconception on the pic of the cannabilistic ball. The story was written in an old reptile magazine, can't remember which one at the moment. Anyways, there were several if not near a hundred newly imported CH balls all housed together. As anybody can verify, sometimes these come in in bad shape. Anyway, one at another as the pic shows. They can become quite stressed in an environment like this and are very hungry.

    I will try to post more when I can look up the story.

    I would be looking for an excaped male ball python :taz:


    I agree with many other posters that have said that an adult male would cause a huge lump and most definately a regurg . . .
