We'll it's all inside him now, so perhaps I was over-reacting a bit.

I am brand new to this site, I found it during my panic over this feeding. I have a Chinese Water Dragon and the herper forum I joined in my early days with him was not very pleasant, so when I became a first time snake owner a month ago I was very hesitant to find an online community to ask questions of.

I have read your very informative stickies. I really like the attitude that this forum claims to take, I look forward to reading more and learning more. I also feel relieved to know that there is a resource to which I may turn when I have questions.

Like: the first week when he ate, his poo was very unsolid and made a mess. What does that mean? It hasn't been like that since, so I stopped worrying, figured maybe it was part of the adjustment to his new home.

As far as this thread, now that he has eaten this super large food, what will happen if there is a problem? Will he throw it up or just die? Or will he be in distress and how will I know that? If there isn't a problem, does that mean that this was the right food size (since he attacked it so excitedly and quickly) and I should continue offering this size?

Thanks so much for your help!
