regurgitated??

i jsut fed my baby corn the smallest pinkie that i have. seemed to take it down well. anyway i walked past like 20 minutes later and i assumed teh bulge from the pinkie woudl be in his neck. but i think i seen a bulge in teh middle of him. do they move that fast down the snake? i didnt want to bother him so i couldnt get a good look. do u think he regurgitated?

also i only have a few smaller pinkies. will he be able to handle the little bit larger ones?

thanks in advance.

The stomach of a snake is pretty far down the body, so what you're seeing is normal. As for feeding the larger ones, he should be fine with them. Feed the small ones off first, then give him the bigger ones. Really, he should be fine with any size pinky. They can take surprisingly large prey. (But just stick to pinks for now)

He shouldn't regurge it, just don't handle him for a couple of days afterwards.

By the way, I like your signature! Sad, but true.
