unusual feeding posture

This is Valentino, my 3.5 month old male snow. A few days ago I gave him a slightly larger fuzzy than he's used to. This was his solution for getting a grip on the situation.

Here's one of many photos I shot of him in this position. I've shown it to a few friends and no one has seen anything quite like it... so I thought I'd share.

Anyone else ever seen a feeding posture like this?

the closest thing i have is my new kings first feeding, dunno if it really counts tho





he eventually got things straightened out tho

 
That's a pretty typical constriction of prey by a corn. Some just don't loosen up until they've already gotten half their dinner swallowed.
 
My butter did that last feeding. She grabbed in the middle & constricted, then it took her awhile to figure out how to eat it because the head was buried in her coils. She eventually got it though.

Here's one of her "drowning" her meal (I feed f/t so it didn't need drowning)

oh wow i feel really blonde now (or perhaps i've been feeding f/t too long), constriction didn't even occur to me XD
more reasons i don't need to give advice at 2 am lol

Greeling, any chance of more pics of your kings in general chit-chat? I'm still trying to make up my mind which sort to get next year, and yours looks gorgeous
 
Thanks for all the replies.

I guess I just didn't think of it as "constriction". He started trying to eat the mouse (F/T) with no constriction at all... and gradually got into this position over a period of 12 minutes; then stayed that way until he'd finished all but the feet and tail.
