what do i do?

[Joeysham]

so, i just fed my ball, and she started to eat it, grabbed it by the the tail end, and had problems getting it down, spit it out, and started over repeatedly, it was her second one, so she did eat, but didn't ge the second one down, just kinda made a mess of it, should i remove it right now, leave it overnight for her to try again? what do i do? and how do i go about cleaning up after it? cuz my understanding is not to bother them 48 hours after feeding but i don't want it to get all gross in there either....

I would remove it, you can go into the cage that isn't an issue, just try not to pick her up.

great now she's lying on top of it :\

Moving her just enough to get the rodent out isn't going to cause any issues. The problem comes when you handle a snake after they eat for an extended period of time. Just grab it, and leave her alone. She won't care at all.

thanks! she moved just enough for me to get it out, and i went and tore off the newspaper the rodent was on, that was not a pretty picture. thank you for the quick reply
