What should you do if BP vomits food that was too big?

Got him for a quick check he’s looking good. I know he’s just ate massive rat but I haven’t really noticed these on the ends of his mouth, I’ve seen little stretch marks in the past but they seem a bit bigger now. Looks like the end of his mouth’s reddish.

I don’t know if this is ‘normal’ or not considering he’s had a bigger rat could he have slightly split the ends of the mouth.

No...I think you're looking at his heat sensing pits at the back corner of his mouth. He looks fine to me.

Thanks. I can’t help but get a bit paranoid of the littlest of things.
He’s been doing alright since he’s had it, still roaming about at night an stuff, being curious plotting his escape , comes halfway out the hide an basks on the log in front of it. Normal behaviour.
And wanting more food, the greedy hole.

Well, that's better than not caring what happens to him, but it's just rougher on you. I think we've all fed a meal that we regretted right after because it was bigger
than we should have fed; most snakes handle it ok, & I'm glad yours did too. Snakes are "programmed" to not miss meals...in the wild, there's no guarantee. It's up
to us to be the "bad guys" with our captive pets, so they don't over-eat.

He’s had a big dump, I think he’ll be alright now. Took it out & wiped that part of the viv an plonked him back in.

Yup, he's good to go, er, out of hurling danger.
