    The first time I went to feed my BP, she tried to eat the thing sideways. took a few hours before I was finally able to make her drop it and try again head first. She's done this a few times here and there, but since that first time she's pretty much been good, and now when she does go sideways, she'll eventually realize she's wrong and will adjust...

    Which is why her feeding a few weeks ago was so weird. She grabbed the mouse(F/T weanling) in the middle of its body. I figured she's eventually give up as usual, except instead, she proceeds to bend the mouse in half so it's head is between its legs, and eats the mouse-ball from the back to the head/feet.

    That was when i decided to just throw away the remaining weanlings instead of finishing them up.

    Re: Stories about Crazy/Unusual Feeding

    i was feeding my 2200 gram normal ball one day. i threw in a male rat(cant remember if it was live or f/t)
    i was watching her constrict when all of a sudden the rats scrotum became a balloon ....lol. the rats guts pretty much got squeezed into the scrotum and it ballooned out. crazy.

    another time i was feeding a small childrens python. this snake liked to sit in its tree right next to the screen and eat from tongs through a plugged hole in the top. i took the plug off then realized my tongs were out of reach. i had the tank half balanced on my leg and the stand the mouse in the other hand. the childrens came out the hole and grabbed my thumb and pulled my thumb into the hole on the lid. then constricted my thumb locking it into the lid as i couldnt pull the snake off or through the hole. i ended up unlocking the hood one handed then placing the tank back on the shelf and having my wife help pull the snake off. this whole time blood is going everywhere. i couldnt believe how bad the blood was. once the snake was off i found 1 tiny tooth hole. the constriction was just forcing it out.lol
    i may even have pics still somewhere ill have to look

    Just this past Thursday I fed Koga two pinkies (only because pinkies are way too small for him) and the first one he took a few minutes to get down, but the second one was gone in a matter of seconds. It was CRAZY to see, and I got it on video. I'm going to try to upload it as soon as I have access to the camera that it is on.
