Tina,

Just to let you know, when that happens to me, I just pick up the snake right after it strikes and wraps, and set it out of the water. They always eat as usual after I handle them while they are wrapped up. I usually do that, just to keep them from dropping the prey item in the water, and then leaving it there for me to find the next day. Makes for nasty water. Just pick him up and move him while he is wrapped, and I bet he'll do fine.
