 Slow Feeding

Hey all, today’s feeding day for my ball, and I’ve noticed that, as usual, he’ll strike the rat (i feed f/t) and after constricting it, he’ll just put it down, and sit around/wander around his feeding tub. After around 5-10 minutes he’ll eat the rat, but this seems kinda long to me. Is it normal for them to take a while to eat?

Every ball python I’ve had (including the ones i have now) have done this at some point or another. I wouldn’t worry.

Alright, thanks guys :) I wasn’t super worried, but it’s always nice to know for sure, especially when I’m already stressed with exams haha
