I feel your pain!

Several years back I was feeding my Amazon green tree boas. I observed one strike down to grab the mouse. The mouse and the uncoiled portion of the snake arched over the perch and landed in the water bowl. The other half of the snake was still perched. I figured all was good to go.

When I came back an hour later to check on the others I noticed the one was still half in the water bowl. On inspection I found that it had continued constricting the mouse underwater and drowned itself as a result.
