Butt FIRST!? easy Q!

[AMBiEN22]

So i know i could probably do a search and find a lot of answers and comments and opinions! But i like to hear it straight from the horses mouth sort of say . Plus its nice to see if newer information has arose! So my question is lately Lilly has been eating her mice butt first . Takes her for ever to get it down but as long as she is healthy and not regurgitating i am fine with it.

So easy Q! Is it harmful or bad if she does this?! (i told you its an easy question )

Also here is a video of one of the two feedings (If their is no link its because i am still uploading the one gig file was to lazy to read up on video compression with sony vegas 10 lol)

It generally means your feeding too small

No, its not bad if they eat it butt first... sometimes they might struggle with it more but nothing serious...ive had 2 snakes do this several times but they eventually learned...

Shes eating 18 gram weanlings, shes about 20 inches give or take and at 203.6 grams as of today going to my local exotic reptile store to pick up some more rodents soon. going to try to aim for 25 gram mice. Also when should i switch her over to rats?

Video coming soon its kinda cool to watch!

ditto what the previous two posters said. i've had snakes attempt to eat sideways before...

[snakesRkewl]

25 grammers should be fine

[bobmurffy]

try to switch to rats as soon as you can... sometimes its harder to find baby rats for sale at pat shops but rat fuzzies and hoppers are the size of smaller mice...

I feed F/T so its nice being able to pick up from my local exotic store in bulk Might try to pick up a F/T rat and if she takes it i will buy some in bulk!

Thank you for all the quick replies!
