    As long as the snake didn't have a problem it's just fine. They sometimes get it backwards (or even try for a sideways snack LOL) but mostly they figure out it's easiest to swallow them headfirst.

    Sometimes they eat feet first when the prey item is a little on the small side as well.

    My boy was a year old before he figured he could set it down and regrip from the other end!! So cute when he works it around in his mouth to the other end.:) He still eats smaller prey items backwards.

    my RTB always eats his meals sideways. Everything is always fine :)
    don't think there is anything to worry about.
