Evening, everyone! I've noticed that my baby has some really odd eating habits. Although he's one and a half years old, he still really likes to eat rat pups - and only *brown* rat pups. I know its normal for ball pythons to be fussy, but my snake also seems to have difficulty swallowing. He seems to have a lot of trouble finding the "swallowin' end" of his rats as my fiancee likes to say. He always tries to eat it feet first for at least 15-20 mind before stopping to look for the head. I've also noticed him "mashing" his food against his cage sides/furniture before eating it. Last night he mashed his rat up until it was uniformly "mushy" (sorry this is the least gross way that I can describe it); then he grabbed both feet and face and shoved the whole thing in his mouth all at once! Should I be worried about him having some sort of neurological problem, or is this normal?
