Can feed be to large and harm your python

I noticed kind of a slit on the bottom of her jaw after getting that meal down. Not sure if all pythons have this or mabey it was caused from the stretching

It's a natural part of their anatomy that helps them get their mouths around their prey. No worries.

Yes, should be fine. More often than not, it's the HUMANS that are intimidated by the size of the prey, more so than the snakes.

Thats how i am with my balls, But with my boas, i find it easier to feed them the best sized prey, no idea why that is

Thanks for this subject. I had one of my BP's refuse a meal, so I put the rat in with another BP. Then I looked up his weight and realized the rat was more than 15% of his weight. I went to pull it out, but it was too late. He was already eating it. He seems ok, but hasn't eaten since. Nice to know he's probably ok.

This morning, 218 gram Iggy was "eying up" Phoebe, my 60 pound Ibizan Hound.

You know The Look.

I really think Iggy was seriously considering it.
