    BP eating backwards constantly

    My ball python has been eating the mouse backwards ever since I got him. It seems like he cant figure out which is the right way to eat the mouse and has a lot of trouble swallowing it. What should I do?!?

    One of my bps does that all the time as a baby-juvy, but she's an adult now and eats right now. Wouldn't worry about it too much

    One of my guys was a butt muncher when he was young. He grew out of it. I wouldn't worry about it. Think of it this way, you have a BP that eats consistently. Winner!
