The other day I was feeding my ball python. I feed him live rats. He constricted the rat and killed it just fine. He then proceeded to start swallowing. He got the rat in about halfway and then start spitting it back out. He completely ignored it after that. I left the rat in the cage for a day or two to see if he was saving it for later but he never showed interest in it again. The rat was not any bigger than the usual rats I feed him. Has this happened to anyone? Is this a problem? Should I try feeding him another one right away? Thanks for any information.
