I really have no experience with this situation but that prey item either needs to go in or out.

How long has she been sitting there with the prey item in her throat?

really from start to finish its all moving just extremely slow. i just checked on her again and itts moved down another inch or so. i think its moving in the right direction. im just not sure y so damn slow. i guess we can blame it on the shed.

Alright well hopefully it goes down okay. If it doesn't by tomorrow I would take her to see the vet :)

Also, give her tank a good misting to boost the humidity so she can get some of that shed off herself.

If she still has shed stuck to her 48 hours after eating, then give her a soak to get the rest off.

Make sure the temps and humidity are correct in her enclosure. Honestly if they were fed such small prey before then those mice might have been a tad too big for them right now. I would have gotten them to take a smaller meal for a few weeks before offering something bigger. Not fuzzy size but bigger than weaned.

If that mouse is not down by early morning do like you would if you assist fed one that tried to regurge before it was all the way down. Very gently massage the area in front of the mouse while touching the snakes tail to encourage it to crawl forward and flex the mouse down into its stomach.

Hot side at 90, ambient temp at 79/81, humidity around 60%.

If it is not right they will not be able to digest and the meal could kill them. Next time feed something a little easier to get down. When they are malnurished like that you should start them out small and work up.

well i woke up around 4am and checked on her and the mouse had made it to her belly. she has ate live mice once a week for a month so far, i wouldnt think this would have been too much for her. hopefully next week this dosnt happen again. thank you all so much for being available to help. you guys have been great!
