Hybrid ate a snail!!

[rob1525]

So he is a hybrid...aprox 6" long. I introduced a few snails approx the size of a quarter (25cents) maybe a bit smaller the other night and went to bed. Woke up the next morning and seen the hybrid had ate one. I didnt think he could open his mouth that wide...or even think about swallowing one.

It has been 1 1/2 days since and he doesnt appear to be distressed in any way. Still coming out every night when lights go out. His belly is just very round at the moment.

My question is should I be worried....will he be able to digest this snail? Thanks in advance

hell either puke it up or the shell will get crushed by the muscles in his stomach. my RTC ate half a dozen snails in one day. most of the shells he just crushed and then ate the meat but some he swallowed hole, he never puked em up so im assuming the shell go crushed in hist stomach
