weird!

I would try moving over to rat pups as soon as possible.

I look at things logically (at least to me). The reason snakes eat rear first is simple. When they eat head first then the last thing they taste is ratbutt. When they eat rear first then the rat wipes the taste away as they swallow it. It's the difference between a snake who goes into his hide, burps, and thinks," mmm. That was good" and a snake who thinks,"EWWWW that taste. Hey! Mr. Big Heat Signature, toss me a Tic-Tac."
