Not your typical eating backwards thread. Help...

Volvagia eats backwards from time to time without issues, but it's a whole new story now...
She first ate the tail (Lol) and now she has the rat's legs to both sides of her mouth (looks kinda porn-ish :rofl:) but she can't get past the legs... Should I take the rat off her mouth and present it face first?

She has been struggling for like 15 minutes or more

NO omg don't ever try and remove a rat from a snakes mouth, that can cause some damage. Leave her be, she'll be fine.

for lack of a better answer.... pics? lol jk. ive seen mine do that and they get it down i just watch them closely

this.

do not attempt to remove it. give her time. some of my snakes take upwards of half an hour to get a rat down, front-ways or back-ways.

Yup, Leah nailed it as always. Leave her alone, she'll figure it out.

Ya know, since you brought it up, I always thought her name sounded a little dirty. :D

Sorry for the delay, I was driving. After like 45 minutes she came down to her senses, and did it right

No worries :P
My sister and me were laughing at how helpless and clueless she was looking (although I was worried)

I've had one instance where I nearly went against this advice... one dumb little baby decided he'd strangled the rat crawler enough... but it wasn't dead yet, and as he started swallowing it backwards, the rat regained strength and started clawing the inside of the snake's throat with his back legs to get out. I ended up pinning my hand around the neck at the hips of the rfat, and kept the leg movement to a minimum, and had to choke out the rat. The snake didn't seem to mind in the slightest, and just kept chowing down.
