Normally when a snake swallows a rodent head-first, the feet (front or back) are flexible and can be swallowed easily.Originally Posted by Mc.mischievous7
Ofc all rats have feet. I wasnt saying that they dont. What I said was that the feet of the rat was preventing him from swallowing. Because the rats gets was up towards the rats head. When Mystic attacked it he didnt put the feet of the rat in his mouth. So it prevented him from eating it whole.
And I feed him the same size rats the breeder was feeding him because it was recommended. So now I'm not suppose to follow the same rat size the breeder fed the snake. Smdh.

The only thing I can think of besides the rat being WAY too big is if the rodent was dead a while before freezing, so that rigor mortis made the body stiff...thus, even when thawed the legs & feet were not flexible.
You perhaps need a better supplier of rodents, IF this was the case...as rodents dead long enough to get stiff have started to spoil prior to freezing. And that
is unacceptable.
