I fed my cornsnake penguin today (second feeding with me) and he grabbed at the pinky and tried eating him backwards. It was a very small pinky (smaller than the first one he ate) but it took him a while to get it down. His mouth is closed and all, but it seems like it's in his neck, not his belly.

Next time if he grabs it by the legs again, should I try getting it from him and turning it around? Wouldnt he ignore it after that?

Also, do corn snakes constrict their prey? It looked like he tried constricting it, but just gave up since it was already in it's mouth live.
