ok im just posting this to see if anyone else has noticed this

when feeding my garter a live minnow for instance has anyone else noticed that the minnow will still twich and shake while in its stomache making it look like your snake is twitching
however the most interesting think i have noticed in when i fed my garter a large worm i was just watching him for a few minutes after he was done eating it and it looked like the worm was trying to squirm out but george kept on contracting and squeezing it back down i just thought that was interesting and if anyone else had noticed

Oh yeah! I've actually taken pictures before where the worm was crawling back out........it's funny!

Large nightcrawlers have been known to to work thier way out of the back end thus killing the snake.

Yup. Seen the fish wriggle inside.

Read something similar, snakeman, and have told EVERYONE at the park Winnie is NOT TO GET nightcrawlers!
