What can I say, I tend to feed big. I have two brand new 2010 balls that I feed hopper rats. I don't even waste time with mice. A couple of my 09s, when they eat big smalls or medium rats they tend to lay in one spot until they rest up, because it takes a lot of energy to swallow something that large!

Same thing with my burm. When I feed her her weekly pig she has a tendency to stay stretched out for at least a few hours before she curls back up in her hide.

I wouldn't worry about the snake, if it is too much for him, he will regurgitate it. Congrats on getting him on rats!
