I saw these snakes last night and I really didn't know what to tell him, but I can give you more info... Cause I know he won't be reading your post tell tonight.

He fed all his babies on Sunday and fed them the same things he always does, a fuzzy rat. (They are all 04 babies) Three out of five babies became bloated yesterday. 1 of them is pretty bad, if you hold it up to a strong light you can see the food inside and if you move the snake back and forth you can actually see the food sloshing back and forth. To me it was apparent that the bloat was caused by air, the food wasn't swollen the rat looked compressed and partially digested. And if you put them into soak the mid section of there bodies float.

Thanks Josh
