    Issue striking rat Not sure if im being over cautious or if there is something wrong.

    I was feeding my largest girl today. I dont have any rats that is any where near what she normally eats. She normally eats x-large rats without a problem. and the ones i have are small rats. So i was going to feed her 2 rats. She ate the first one just fine. I gave her a little bit to let it settle. Then i put the second rat in there. She seemed very interested but not as interested as normal. The rat is very skittish and ran on top of her. She struck at it, but it seemed that it was more of a warning strike than a real kill strike. Well as soon as this happen the rat bullted away.
    After that she seemed to have some issues with her jaw(maybe tooth). I grabbed the rat and put it back in its tub. But she keep opening her mouth and moving her bottom jaw.

    Her bottom jaw kind of looked like this but not as bad.(this is not my photo or snake)

    Please note. She has eating 2 small rats for me in the pass without a problem.
