    feeding question

    Is my snake supposed to eat a mouse tail first? I've never seen it before till yesterday and I was just wondering if it might cause any problems.

    I'm still new at this and I have lots of questions.

    Some snakes will eat the prey butt first. I have never heard of it causing any problems. As long as they are able to get it down I really don't think there is anything to worry about.

    nope, doesnt matter as long as they get it down, check out BHB's new snakebytes video "Eat My Butt" its all about trying to feed backwards
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.
