    Never fallen backwards like that. lol One of mine does get very weird after eating though. She rubs her face on the floor and sides of the enclosure. She also tries to wedge her face in the corners. I was very troubling in the beginning but I'm used to it now so don't think twice.

    Re: Does anyone elses bp do this when feeding?

    I have one that stands up until he hits the roof then flattens himself along the top to swallow and one that just goes in and eats sidewards. I used to have a boa that even lifted up then faced slightly down to swallow. They just like to eat in weird ways

    Re: Does anyone elses bp do this when feeding?

    My little girl trips out thinking she's choking because our other bp Medusa doesn't do it,Lucy is deff a weird one..could it be because she has a slight wobble and maybe its easiest for her that way?

    I haven't had that yet but mine seems to like her food better if she washes it in her water bowl, I dunno why but she absolutely loves dunking them in water almost like some people dunking like a cookie in coffee.

    Re: Does anyone elses bp do this when feeding?

    My mice usually get wet while im thawing them,as long as their warm they dont mind it a bit..Lucy has a little bit of the wobble so i was wondering if thats why she goes completely upside down sometimes..

    That's a hilarious photo! It look likes she's dying of gluttony.

    These guys are so funny between their swallowing contortions and herp derping.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I've never had one fall backwards like that LOL! That's hilarious

    Also, that's an awesome enclosure! Is that ficus leaved one real, or is it also fake?
