Alright, in that case should I give it another hour or two just in case he hasn't eaten it yet and just check him before bed to make sure it is gone? I don't really know how long a snake takes to swallow prey, or how long they might wait before actually eating it. Is there a time frame that it would be safe to say if they haven't eaten it by then they are not going to? I had two unsuccessful feeding attempts with him, one while he was in blue, so that was predictable, but also the day that he shed (I had to assist him with it so he was probably stressed). I just would hate to disrupt him before he is done and put him off eating. I will be stressing like crazy if I have to wait another week to try again, I am really crossing my fingers that he ate it since it would be his first appropriately sized food item.
