Snickers just ate a mouse "butt first" rather than "head first"....is that bad????

It may still be too small. You'd be surprised, what you think is the right size may not be for the snake. Should follow the general rule of 10-15% of the snake's body weight to make sure. Besides, feeding a mouse, I have a hard time believing that you couldn't move up a notch. Mice are small.

You may be feeding the right size, but eating backwards normally does indicate the snake wants larger prey. This is because the butt of the rodent is a lot larger than the head when they start on it.

The digestive system is not like the reproductive system of a human in any means, and a snake has an extremely elastic neck. Don't worry so much. The limbs are not sharp or anything.

She isn't eating pinkies, fuzzies or hoppers. She is eating adult mice. I don't think it's time to move her to rats yet.
