    Upside down?

    So my BP for some reason, always eats upside down. He grabs it by the head, then flips his head over so it is upside down, swollows the food, then hes fine. Hes the only one of my snakes that does it. He has done it for about 6 minths now. He is an eating machine, but just does it upside down. Any idea?

    You know, I think we could speculate a sore in throat or tooth, etc. But I think it just boils down to comfort and qwerks.

    Just like why some guys prefer to shoot from a cross draw holster over a strong side.

    If this is the spider then it could be a side effect of the wobble most likely.

    But it doesn't sound like it is causing him any problems.

    Bps are weird. Mine will do it every so often. It won't hurt them if that's what you are worried about.
