I noticed a few things our snakes did when we fed them. My snake roswell tends to eat the mice backwards. He often times strikes it in the throat, but eats it butt first. Why is this?
My girlfriend's snake "roo" eats from the head down, like every other snake i have seen. We feed the snakes 2 mice every other week. This is the way the reptile store fed them, so we stuck with their feeding scheduale. Roo will eat the first mouse whith no problem, but she will kill the second one and let it sit there after it is dead. She then seems to size up the mouse to her body, and the room vacant inside her. She will run her nose form the tip of the mouses nose all the way to the butt many times. She will then do the same thing to her body in the area right above where the first mouse is sitting inside her. She has taken as long as 5 minutes sizing up a dead meal before taking seconds. Is this unusual?

Take a look at Roswells feeding picks. I hope to get vids of Roo sizing up her stomach. It is kind of cute.
