So about an hour and a half ago my BP struck and coiled his first small rat, and then he drug it back into his hide and attempted to eat it. It all seemed fine and dandy until about an hour and a half later he started rolling around like a crocodile would after it latches onto something, and he flung himself out of his hide. He failed to figure out how to properly eat the larger prey and I knew something was going very wrong, so I removed the small rat (50 gms) from the tank, and now I am waiting to see what I should do. I'm worried that he might be injured or get overly stressed and something bad might happen. Do I need to take him to a vet? I'm worried he might die or something... This hasn't happened in the 12 years I've had snakes... He's acting delusional and stuff.
