I can't add much, except stressing the food item size like Fred did...My rule of thumb is, I want to have to look at my feeding diary to when my animal fed last..Even if it was 2 hrs ago...I HATE seeing big lumps in my snakes!!!

BTW, Fred, I like the new touch....Aztec Reptiles "USA" Hit 'em where it hurts!!! :-)

: I have a pair of Eastern Indigos. I have them in Neodesha cages sitting side by side to each other. The female is doing awesome and eats everything. The male is thinner and is also a great eater but tends to eat one food item at a feeding. I fed them both last week. The male took a medium rat. One week later to the day he regurgitated the rat. He was gyrating the front half of his body back and forth while keeping the back still. Then he threw up the rat. There was not much left of the rat. It was nearly completely digested. The snake looks fine now. What are the possible reasons for this?

: Thanks,
