I simply can not believe you took the dead ball python out of the cage, then put it back in and allowed your Dumerils to eat it. Unbelievable!!! Yes, Dumerils have been known to eat snakes, including other Dumerils. Yes, it is pretty common knowledge that keeping snakes together, especially different species, is a bad idea. YES, snakes have eaten snakes of similar size and DIED as a result. I can not believe you let your 5' Dumerils eat a 4 1/2' Ball python. I really hope your Dumerils does not die as a result of this.
