I have a cannibal snake

What doesn't make sense is why they'd pass through the GI tract undigested. Weird.

I dont think they can digest other snakes, hence why they usually regurgiate or die after eating a bigger snake.

One of mine was a nearly ftt baby with neuro and digestive issues. The first few times he ate after I got him started on food he'd pass partially digested food. He eventually grew out of it, but I always assumed it was due to being unable to digest properly or it going through his system too quickly to be digested fully.

So pretty much what Jesse just said except I've had the lovely experience of smelling it for myself...
