it happens now and then and i always find it funny when they eat butt first.
Edit: and here's a re-post of my 2nd BP ever on the hunt when i was such a noob and fed outside the enclosure:

he currently lives in a tank with a lot of clutter. i feed him in tub b/c there’s just too many hides, plants, etc. for a mouse to get into that would prolong his feeding/hunt. anyway last night, he ambushed his live prey in tub. i thought it was really cool and i had my phone/camera handy. check out his sneaky feed.
imma hide... ...and be all sneaky.
lay and wait...
...waiting.
bam!
all wrapped up.
stop taking pix, can't u see that i'm eating... yum!
yawn. (he’s turned the other way, but he's actually re-adjusting his jaw)
imma hide again. Shy... ...buh-bye
ok, nevermind. put me back in my cage.
