Sometimes snakes get confused as far as which end to eat first .Sometimes it happens and i dont think anyone knows why they do it. I think you should keep an eye on him when his rodents get larger to make sure they dont bite him.

Are you feeding live or f/t? I am going to guess that you are feeding f/t (frozen/thawed). If that's the case, it may be that there's not a good heat signature at the head. You can try touching the nose of the mouse on a heat lamp to heat it up a bit more than the butt end.
