I have a year old corn snake... female and beautiful. Her name is Sierra. This morning I awoke to my kids talking about a mouse in my sons bedroom.
I breed my own ASFs and mice for my collection. I quickly got out of bed to notice that three of the adult mice were missing and the tub open. I found the male scurrying in my room but two females were missing. I started screaming and the kids brought me one of the females but one more was still missing. My husband woke up to my fury and it did not take him long to find this...
It obvious now where the mouse is and it is also obvious that the pregnant adult female mouse is way too big for my little corn snake. Sierra can hardly move or get the mouse down to her stomach. It keeps moving up and Sierra keeps pushing it down. I am really worried for her. She looks like she could rip open, if she doesn't regurgitate first. Will she be fine? Is there anything I need to do to make sure she doesn't end up injured?
And please do not judge. My kids have never done anything like this before. And they are being severely punished for it right now. All I want to know is if Sierra will be okay and if there is anything I need to watch for until either the mouse is digested or regurgitated? If everything is fine an by a miracle Sierra is able to digest it, when should I feed her again. The mouse she was given by my children is almost 4x larger then she can take comfortably.
