    Is it common for a BP to get stuck when a prey item is in their stomach?

    So I just fed Apollo for the first time and he took it! He looked really confused that it was already dead (he was fed live), but he didn’t mind in the end. He hides in a pretty small hide I made with some rocks. Could he potentially get stuck bc of the prey item? Has anyone seen this happen? I’m hoping my prey item was appropriately sized. I fed the size the breeder said, but one of the rats in the package was double the other so they must not be very consistent. I am going to take him out to weigh him and then feed off of that but I wanted to make sure I got him to eat before handling. Also, he is in his cool hide. What is the optimal temperature for digestion? Can he fully digest on the cool side?
