I think both ways are acceptable, I was confused as to why snakes can handle larger meals in the wild than in captivity, can eat more frequently in the wild than in captivity and do not regurgitate no matter how many chickens they eat when they break into a chicken farm. I was not happy with the idea it was magic so I asked. Guess what? the general consensus seems to be temperature. There are more temperature choices in the wild and therefore the animals can do what they need to to survive these large or frequent meals.

So when I come here and report this people jump down my neck, frankly I am tired of it and I am done.

If anyone is interested in this regurgitation or rotting meal phenomenon in the wild contact me by PM, if not good for you. I know who to go to for answers so I am done discussing this.

And for the record like I stated earlier boas have been on surfaces 122F the ambient temps were 101F and the internal body temperatures were 87- 92F they did not burn to a crisp or have any problems.

I am done.
