Just wait until next week to feed again. Don't try feeding him the rat unless the rat is abou the same size as the middle part of his body. If it is too large, don't try it. I thought two small rats would be a lot for Candice, but my Kingsnake refused his small rat (in shed) so I didn't want to waste it. It was smaller than the small rat I fed to Candice, so I went ahead and fed it to her and she had no problem taking it down. Right now I think she is in shed after eating all of that, so I'm happy that she took it down and now I'm looking forward to an awesome and first shed in the new tub.
