What do you believe caused the death of that anaconda? I've seen boas and pythons eat mice and rats in the initial stages of decomposed without issue on numerous occasions. A large feeder animal at 85 to 90 degrees in the stomach of a boid will be in the advanced stages of decomposition before it is actually digested, and it does not cause any issues. I would have to believe that there was something else involved than just a decomposition issue with that feeder.
