Baby ball python tail first?

[Nathan7004]

My baby ball python is currently eating his mouse tailend first and not head first, will he be ok? Im a bit worried it will hurt him...

[Reinz]

The stomach doesn't care.


All 7 of my snakes have done this as well.

Oh ok that's a relief, thank you

[Tigerhawk]

Yes he will be ok. Besides their is little you can do about it. He seems to have everything under control.

he'll learn. I've found many snakes, not just BPs, do this when moving up in prey size. no harm done, either they get it down or they don't. looks like your guy did.
