My attention was caught more by your profile picture. Ive never seen any snake eat a mouse like that. They always go head-first. Did you snap that pic yourself?

Although it is odd, it does happen ... my girlfriends spotted python has swallowed a feeder backwards several different times.

Same, my old BP as well as my red tail boa have both eaten rats ass backwards before. Guess it depends how excited they are about food.

I have a male that eats his backwards. I have a female that goes full periscope to eat in mid air. Not inverted to allow gravity to help. She holds the rat off the ground but eats downward.. Hard to explain

They are some beautiful looking BPs you got there man:gj::D

My boy likes to fling his rat all over the place, lifting it mid-air, slamming it off the side of his enclosure.

yes, i took that picture myself. that mouse was the 2014 hide and seek champ. :rolleye2:

I have a corn that ate all her pinkies and most fuzzys tail first, but since we went to hoppers she turns them head first, I guessed it was uncomfortable swallowing against the grain. My BP loves to strike from up in his vines, then drag the rat up in them to eat. He won't be able to do that much longer. I don't think the suction on the vines will support his weight. I guess i'll have to get him a tree to eat in.

Here's my boy all wrapped up. I don't see him do this often though, he's getting too big. Has anyone seen adult balls go into full on balled up mode?http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5b7a32e.jpg

I love these balled up ball pics! These snakes are beautiful. My favorite is the first pic. Looks like he/she is hugging itself like it's going to be okay lol so cute [emoji4]

This is the closet to a ball my BP has been in a while!

they tend to grow up out of that phase pretty quickly, at least from my experience

That's my Clown Pastel female A.K.A - my most expensive Ball of joy to date LOL .... This pic is from the day I got her when she was a bit younger .... She doesn't ball up very much anymore ... She has browned out quite a bit since she has gotten bigger but she's still a looker

T-Sauer's clown pastel makes me feel 10x better about my recent clown purchases :D


if i'm the first to breed a yoda clown, i think i'll call it the jar jar :rolleye2:

Not a balled up picture but here she is at 500ish grams .... The flash takes away from her coloring a bit but you get the idea
