Tonight my RB had a very hard time eating his meal. I know sometimes snakes will eat their meal back end first, but it really scared me. The back legs of the pinky looked stuck and it took him some time to get it down. After the meal he seemed to have a hard time getting his jaws back in place and was moving all over the place. I really want to know if I should be worried? He did seem to settle down a bit and curled up under the paper towel. The lump in his tummy looks a bit larger than I would expect. I don't know if I'm just worried over nothing?
