Head first? Tail first? Try a new way..

I cannot believe what I've just witnessed. After lunging from one side of his viv to the other to constrict (f/t) mouse - this is already very strange, as he normally uses least effort possible - Sir Charlesbottom decided to eat it stomach-first. Sideways.

You'd think after 5 minutes of wedged mouse being completely stuck he'd let go and try another way. Nope, he kept going until he eventually swallowed it. I was terrified he'd hurt himself.

Anyone else seen this happen before?

*nods*. Mine does that. I hand-feed him now so i'm sure he starts with the head.

She occasionally gets live ones. There the starts on the other end, and ends up beeing dragged 3 miles with a terrified pinkie. This was especially bad with a sold-as-1-day-old-but-really-not pinkie. She's quite agressive with live pinkies so helping out a bit is difficult.
 
Yep, but more with my bigger snakes (pythons and boas) though. They all seem to do it though. They get over excited or something and just start where ever they grab it. It is a little disturbing to see the a rodent bent in half like that...or is it... :grin01:
 
I thought mine was a bit retarded the other day. She attacked and constricted the f/t mouse like she always does (you'd think she thought it was going to run off!). She constricted it so hard that the head was bent over under the body. Of course she's sniffing around looking for the nose, which is still squashed under her coils. She tried to start on the body where the head was folded under but decided that was too big. Finally she unwrapped the poor bugger and eventually found the nose. I thought I was going to have to show her where to go!
