Ok so the rat that our python ate was probablly a wee to big for him. Im not real concerned about the size of the meal but my question is, what is normal behavior while they're digesting a big meal?
I have been watching and its almost like he is taking really big breaths. Or is it muscle contractions or both? Basically i just want to know if this is a normal part of digestion!?
