Seems bps all have some odd eatting habits..lol.. My Cinny has eatten butt first a few times, but my new spider takes the cake, he surrounded the rat pup then all in one swift move coiled the pup without a strike and killed it, then ate it... Was pretty cool to see but kinda creepy to think hes smooth enough to kill without a strike...lol.. Seems as long as the bp has no inital issues with the way its eatting and doesnt regergitate it will be fine..
