it seems like they struggle more when swallowing prey backwards. it's like against the grain or swimming upstream but it all works out fine with smaller prey.
here's my girl eating a fuzzy backwards.
my normal girl even swallowed a prey sideways when she was younger. it took a long, long time tho and it looked very uncomfortable. i was so close to pulling the fuzzy prey out of her mouth.
Yes its normal, except for you traumatizing your snake....................
>.< Lol he seemed more annoyed with me than anything. After he was done he was staring at me and flicking his tongue like he was trying to figure out why I was trying to take his food. Then he ate the second one backwards also, just to spite me I think .

yep, she kinda squished the fuzzy into a u shape trying to squeeze it in. it was still a very big mouthful for as baby.
