Hey, I noticed the last two times iv fed my pastel lesser he kinda shakes as he is eating the rat. He just started doing this anything to be worried about?

maybe it is to get the teeth deeper in?
the teeth bend backwards so that with jaw movement the prey can be worked in. so a bit of jiggling might just be a way to get the teeth in deeper and make the process work better.
but then, im not sure, maybe there is a bad/infected tooth somewhere or mouth rot, something causing some discomfort while swallowing.

I mean is there anyway to check this? He acts normal and still eats very quickly.. Should I grab him by the back of the head and open his mouth up or what
