Need a super quick response on feeding problem!! Eating from wrong side, wont let go!
Hey guys, just fed my ball python a baby mouse, it is a very small mouse and she could take it down very easy but she is trying to eat it from the tail first. I have tried to get her to let go but she is really really refusing to take it out of her mouth!! Do not want to force to hard. What do??

Leave her be, it will be OK. My very first time feeding my girl as a baby she did that, it takes longer but was all OK in the end, they know what they are doing. No worries! :3

Nah, shouldn't be any issues. Same thing going to the same spot regardless of how it's eaten, right?
Only minor concern might be little mouse finger-nails that scratch a little bit if they're going butt-first, but I sincerely doubt it.

You should watch a Boa eat a jumbo rat folded in half and sideways.
It scares the hell out of us yet they eventually manage.
If it won't go down, they can spit it out.
