Swallowing concerns

My BP's feeding day is today. When she struck the mouse she missed the head so she seems to be having a bit of trouble properly lining up the mouse to swallow. She'll keep trying until she gets it right won't she?

Never mind she got it. She's swallowing it tail first though, silly snake. :rolleye2:

yes they do that sometimes especialy when they can handle something a bit larger my girl sam could probably eat mice backwards in her sleep she's quite large though weighing 5 and a half pounds maybe six have'nt weighed her lately

They will take it anyway they can get it. It may take them some time to get it down, but if they're hungry, they will eat it, eventually.

my normal tries to eat them sideways all the time. i just let her gnaw on it for a while and eventually she gets it right, or backwards, just not sideways. lol

Glad mine isn't the only one! CHOMP straight across the middle, drags it around a bit (F/T), then eventually lets it go and takes over 10 minutes to figure out how to position it. Duh!
