Last night i upgraded one of my pythons food from pinky mice to fuzzy mice.
The local stores rodent sizes has quite a large gap between the 2 sizes and I was a little worried it may be too big, but the people at the store advised me it would be ok.
So I fed her her first fuzzie last night. After the initial strike and wrap there wasnt much going on, so i decided to leave her, and checked in on her again in about 2 hours.
I found that she was able to get it down, with a nice big lump just below her throat.
This morning, I was greeted by the smell of decomposing mice in my herp room. I found the fuzzie laying right in the middle of the heated section. So I cleaned it all up.
My temps were ok at 31 degrees on the warm side.
Would she have regurged her food because it was too big? Or could it be something else? How long before I should offer her food again.
I'm thinking maybe I should just give her 2x pinkies each week instead?
Any advice would be golden!
Cheers
