Odd eater..

[karmak]

Hey guys,
Ive had my punkin for about a mounth now!
Ill tell you a little back ground. I got her from a breeder, shes about a year and a half. About 300g, (vet said she was a little under wieght a week after i got her) and shes eaten about every five days since ive gotten her. Her first eating she ate one live. next she ate two live. next she refused larger males she killed them but couldnt seem to swallow them. They are perfect size for her. She can eat them. But she tends to get in awkward angles and cant get them down. she does this with any size.
Now shes my first BP ive had my corn for a while now, and he eats straight and fast. So im just wondering if this is normal? I dont want her to get use to eating smaller ones? The other day i fed her two small fuzzies and a small mouse FT.
I think the thing that worries me most is that she wont eat what she needs. Second the odd angles she eats she bites her self and gets her mouth stuck on her scales..
Any imput would be helpfull. Thanks guys!

Idk i have never heard of this before :/
Hopefully someone else with some more experience can chime in but my only suggestion i guess would be to readjust her once she starts eating so she doesnt bite herself and isnt at an awkward angle.

Ive actually tried readjusting her, she either gets agitated and spits it out or coils up even worse. Its just odd. Because ive never herd or seen a snake do what she does. I wonder if shell grow out of it? Hmmm
