Depends on many, many things...

The size of the prey
The type of snake
The size of snake
The condition/health of the snake
The environment
TEMPS, TEMPS, TEMPS

and other stuff...

although temps have alot to do with it...

Too cold, they can not digest properly.. too hot, they can regurge easily..

Hope that helps. -Joe
