true but you also need to realize that there are two things happening to that carcass in the snakes belly. it is being digested, but it is also decomposing. If the snake still has a bulge in its belly after 2 days the item is too big, and it is starting to decompose faster than being digested now...and when the decomposing flesh is digested it can make the snake very sick.

so yes they can eat bigger items, however I just dont reccomend it because of that factor.
