Snakes with weird feeding habits
So my new spider girl, Luna, has eaten for me twice since I got her. I tried to feed her the day after she came but she refused. 5 days later I tried again. She initially refused, but I stuck her rat in her hide and she ate it within 30 min. I attempted to feed her again tonight and she wouldn't strike. Yet again I left her rat in her hide. When I came back 30 min later she was cruising her tub, and the rat was still there. I left it in there for another 20 min and when I came back she was in the middle of swallowing it backwards. It actually kind of freaked me out because when I opened her tub she was lying kind of sideways, not moving. I watched her swallow it the rest of the way and she's fine. It must suck not having hands! Anyway, is it worth it to try and get her to strike, or will she just continue to eat this way? I don't really mind, it actually saves my hand from having to hold a rat on the tongs. What are your snake's weird feeding habits?
