Just fed my new BP for the 3rd time in three weeks (which is how long I've had him). He's eaten it tail first again and has done the other 2 times as well!

I've heard this isn't all that uncommon, but is there any risk if he continues to do it every time?

He has no problems at all feeding other then this - takes it well.

He's 3.5' long, 3.5 years old ; feeding on 1 medium f/t mouse per week. I'm defrosting for several hours (about 5) at room temp and then giving them a blast in front of a fan heater.

Is the prey too small for him?

Thanks.
