    Have you ever had....

    a snake that didnt completly kill the prey, and it was still breathing when it swallowed it??? That just happened with my ball python, could something bad happen, the asf was breathing and twitching, but it couldnt really move!!!!

    What do you guys think?

    I used to have a milk snake that would eat it's prey live. No big deal. It will die quickly once it's consumed.

    I have had a few snakes do this and a few of them have even swallowed prey live without even constricting.
