I overfed my corn snake hatchling of about 9 inch a hopper.
There wasnt any pinkies in the local shops.
Last thursday.
He has only defecated a little bit today while out of tank.
It was brought to my attention in another post that might not have been a good idea.
He has a big hump in the middle of his tummy but it looks like it got a little smaller.
What are the possible potential problems with this and/or things I should do?

Thanks,
Klaos

probably increased risk of regurgitation, so leave the snake longer than usaul before handling to give it a chance to digest the hopper. if only bigger mice available again, just cut in half lengthwise.
