    Re: What The H E L L!!!

    He is a full size BP - I feed him live Med. And I will let him settle, I was wondering if it was something more that i need to worry about. Thanks for ALL the input - This has not happened to him and @ 230 in the AM i was freaked out.

    Re: What The H E L L!!!

    Did you actually confirm that he had eaten the rat? Or did you just see that he had constricted it, and didn't check back later?

    A dead, unconsumed rodent will start to smell horribly.

    If you believe that he did regurgitate, then don't feed him for another 2 weeks, you need to allow his stomach flora to build back up, so that he doesn't regurgitate again.

    He did get him down - I was wondering if the rat was a bad one ??? It had looked like the shop that i go to had just got in a batch of rats. Again I don't no.
