Eating mouse tail first?

[the_Ryno]

Can any harm be done by my BP eating a mouse tail first? Fed it for the first time since I got him, and he ate it tail first.

They do that sometimes. No harm tho

HAHA finally someone else with the same problem i have, i swear 3 out of 5 snakes eat them tail first everytime, i will hold the rat by the neck and they will find a way to bite the butt and then they start eating at the wrong end, its like there fav thing to do butt first whatever as long as they eat im happy.

lol good ol butt munchers!!! i know a few people whos snake will only eat one side or the other, mine(the two ive had a while) are more inclined to take whatever end they can reach first! the ball ate head first the one time ive fed him!

ive never heard of any harm in it either!

Both mine have tried to wrangle the rump, but they seem to realize its the wrong end and reposition the food and take it head first after numerous attempts at tail 1st.

My bp eats tail first every once in awhile but my beauty snake does it almost exclusively lol.

My favorite is when they grab on the hip or somewhere completely sideways, then something deep in their little BP brain says 'Hey, this isn't gonna work!"

Silly snakes... I think they do better with age, but maybe it's just mine.

Lol, yeah, sometimes Vincent will do that. I got lucky with Jules though, because EVERY TIME he grabs a mouse, he has almost the whole head in his mouth. Mice never have a chance to bite him. Always eats it that way as well.

It's ok though, butt first doesn't matter.

My BP ate a mouse sideways once.
