Hi there. One of my BPs loses balance while swallowing FT rats. Usually at the end of the swallowing process, my snakes would stand up but their body would still lean forward or upright. But I have one BP that would lose balance at the end of the feeding, instead of leaning forward or upright while swallowing the tail of the rat, she would lean backwards and throw her body until her body hits the wall of her enclosure and she needs to rest on said wall to maintain her balance and finish eating. Is this normal? Only 1 out of my 4 snakes does this.
Also, I have tried giving her lighter rats, just in case it is caused by the prey being to heavy, no luck.
