    Like said above, without knowing the weight of the snake or the prey item it's tough to say whether he's likely still hungry or not.

    I did just want to throw my two cents in here though:
    It sounds like you're using a separate feeding tub? I would definitely ditch the feeding tube and feed in his enclosure.

    Feeding tubs are old school and proven counter productive over time. I honestly don't even know where people are still getting the idea to use them...
    Anyway feeding tubs will:
    A) increase the chance of the snake refusing it's meal. Moving = stress, stress = refusals.
    B) increase the odds of a regurge. Moving the snake AGAIN = more stress. More stress = regurge.
    C) increases your chance of being bitten. As mentioned above, snakes can remain in "feed mode" after eating and increase your chances of being bitten.

    There's literally ZERO benefit of using a feeding tub.
