But what if the monitor was in feed mode gulped and didn't realize the rat was as big as it was. Then when he tried to spat it out it got stuck? I have seen the results of a 6ft boa try and swallow a large rat, and got the nose stuck in his glottis he then couldn't spat it out, ended up sufficating/chocking on it. I was called to take a look. If an animal has never had experience with really large prey, particularly because the owner never offered anything quite that big, he would expect whatever is offered is consumable, true or not? That is my thinking is all, any opinions??
