    Ball Python Struggling To Swallow

    My ball python is about 3-4 months old. She just got done shedding about three days ago and I decided to feed her a slightly bigger food this time. I fed it to her and instantly she started to constrict it. However! She then started going for the butt instead of the head. For about 30 minutes now she has been struggling to get it down from the butt. I think the foot or tail is getting in the way.

    What should I do? If she can't get it down now and quits when should I try again on her regular mouse size? I hope this isn't stressing her out...It definitely is stressing me out a little.

    EDIT: She has it about 80% down now. Took like 30-40 minutes! Should I expect her to regurgitate later? If so, what do I do about feeding, handling, etc.
