The rat looked to be stuck and she went from breathing funny to what seemed to be not breathing. Her head was tilted to the side with her mouth half way open and the rats tail sticking out and she wasn’t moving at all. I’ve seen snakes eat hundreds and hundreds of times and I’ve just never seen anything like this. And she had already started the process of bringing the rat back up before I went over. I decided at that point I’d rather have the rat back than a possibly dead snake. I may wait a little longer before going over next time, but it seemed like that rat was coming back up whether I was near her or not.

I don't think it was your doing, other than feeding a snake still in shed, oops! When you see a snake open their mouth like that, it's a "work in progress" trying to up-chuck.
