    Re: Way bigger after eating.

    where is the snake spending time now. Did you feed f/t (or live)? It's hard to answer since I don't know how big your snake is OR what you fed her, but my concern
    is that sometimes when they are fed a meal that's too large, it ends up being too much for them to digest and instead causes painful bloating. From what you're
    describing ("looks wayyy bigger") I think that may be what's going on, & no, it's not normal, it's best avoided.
    It may have been too big. She's bigger as you get closer toward the end of her. She's about 5 months and I fed her an adult mouse. It's 81 on the hot side and 77 on the cool side. She's on the hot side. What's going to happen?
