Help!!! My snake is deficating whole mice.

Posted by Shawn on January 13, 2001 at 02:26:15:

i have 2 Russian ratsnakes (Elaphe schrenki schrenki). i keep them in separate enclosures. i keep a temp gradient from about 80F to 85F. my concern is that for the past couple of months one of my snakes has been deficating whole mice the day after i feed her and she continues doing this for several days after eating. she also appears to be losing a substantial amount of weight. can anyone tell me what might cause this? please help.
thanks
ps i am pretty sure she is not regurgitating the mice
