Re: he choked??????
I don't know why his neck would be flat unless the rib like bones on the side were broke, or the muscles are weak and maybe thats why he couldn't swallow....

Re: he choked??????
i dont know he was fine last night he was my second best eater.
i dint see a lump in his stomach so i figured someone ate his lunch. so i cut up pieces of rosy. placed it on his shell. i came back later about a minute after and he was by the bowl. so i went to get my camera for another eating sequence. But when i got back i saw a lump in his neck. so i turned my camera on but there were dead batteries so i went looking for new ones. when i came back he was in the sme position with the food the same in his throat but he ate one more peice. The big piece. So i waited and he still was not moving so i started this thread.

Re: he choked??????
I'm thinking maybe being that small, that he did do some thing to the bones in the neck, maybe he tried to eat tomuch at once.....hard to say really!!

Re: he choked??????
Josh, I'm really sorry. What a sh*t week you're having! Was it a piece from a large fish? Maybe with a large rigid bone in it? In this instance the bones can sometimes become lodged in the snakes throat, if they don't swallow them the right way. Really sorry, mate.
