I fed my ball python just a second ago. I placed the rat hopper into the tub and it struck almost instantaniously. Well after the hopper stopped kicking I stepped out of the room for a minute. I just went in to check and see if it was done and the rat was soaking wet. Kinda looked like it threw it up but, it was in the middle of eating it? The rat is also the right size for the snake. What is up with that?
