    Re: HELP! My ball python has mice stuck in its throat

    you need to get in there.

    do you have tweezers or hemostats? forceps? at this point use your fingers, you NEED to get in there.

    you're going to need to open the mouth as wide as you and the snake can go and try to GENTLY GENTLY wiggle the prey. wiggle it to get a better sense of HOW the prey is stuck, not to remove it right away. the most dangerous part of this situation is going to be the feet scraping the insides; if you can, use tweezers to grab those feet and try to GENTLY pull them out.

    let us know what you discover.

    EDIT: the prey might be stuck to the teeth. just try and get a sense of how the prey item is stuck.
