Before I even start, I just want to let you all that YES, I do realize that it's not healthy to mess with your snake right after feeding, BUT I didnt do anything that would harm him. I snapped a couple pictures because I'm curious as to if this is normal.
Now for the pictures/question. I just fed my normal corn, who's about 1.5 years old. He's always been a great feeder, and I've never had any issue with his feeding. Sometimes he'll refuse during a shed, sometimes he wont, it all depends. But his feeding response is usually always on spot, and he shows down anything I give him. But today, after I fed him, I noticed that his belly was protruding in an odd way. I noticed it before during his last meal, but I thought maybe it was due to the shape of the mouse. This feed, I decided to find the best shaped mouse I could, just to compare, and it seems like it didnt help. I was just curious to see if anyone has had this issue before, and if it even is an issue!?
Here's a picture of what it looks like.

As you can see from this picture, he looks normal when flat, which makes me wonder if I'm just being paranoid.
