| I wait until the food moves into the stomach (you'll know its there when it stops moving down) and then I let him go back into his viv so he can go settle down to digesting. Takes about 5 minutes from him totally swallowing but if you leave him 10 minutes you can't go wrong. |

| So he didn't eat the first one, and then ate the second one. What a fussy snake. I wouldn't leave for more than 30 minutes. |

| thats what i thought, normally he eats fine, i checked on him about an hour after feeding and either it defrosted enough to escape or he ate it in the end |
