You said 50 grams but how big is the snake?

And what do you mean he's being delusional?
I meant that he constricted it for a little bit and then attempted to get his jaw around the rat for an hour and a half. My BP is 320 gms and the rat is of the same girth and my snake. And by "flung the rat" I mean't flung his body with the rat in his mouth outside the hide. I'm beginning to think that he started to eat it, and then regurgitated it for some reason, because I know that the prey wasn't overly large for him. Do you think that he just couldnt position the rat correctly to swallow it, and then got tired so he basically gave up and regurgitated what he had swallowed?
