Hi guys just a quickie when feeding eddie tonight decided to try him on his first small mouse as the hoppers arent leaving a bulge anymore so he got he mouth around the head and shoulders then spat it out so would i be right in assuming he probably just felt it was too big because a few hours later i offered him a hopper which hes taken no problem ?

Thanks in advance and merry christmas guys

I've never had a snake do that,but I'd assume as you have that he found it too big.

Merry Christmas to you too.
