    My snakes both eat frozen/thawed, and sometimes they grab it in a weird place. Then they start trying to eat it at a weird angle, and give up. xD It is frustrating, when that happens I remove the prey, stick it under a hear lamp (to warm it up and also so the snake smells it even more) and then start over. Usually my snakes are awesome at feeding, but they have their derpy moments

    Haha, mine grabbed it at an odd angle yesterday, took her ten min to move from the waist of the mouse to the butt, which gave her more complications as she tried to gulp it down. She had kind of small mouse for her size though which I think helped because the mouse's back leg was sticking out. Is it weird that she took the f/t mouse no problem when I accidentally dropped it in her cage? she waited a few minutes letting it sit there on the bedding of her cage but ate it all the same. I don't have tongs yet or I would of picked it back up but she stared at my hand good and hard so I didn't want her to start nipping at me thinking that its ok and I'm food lolz.
