How to help BP stop trying to eat sideways?

[arpowell]

Caitlin - that's great! It's funny that my own hognose knows how to find the head no problem but my bp is so persistent about trying to eat it sideways. It hasn't worked the past ten times, but maaaaaaybe this time?

However, be sure to feed appropriate sized meals. Feeding meals too large can make the situation worse and can be bad even if swallowed "correctly."

Absolutely! Right now, my girl is at a bit of an awkward size where small mice seem too small for her and medium mice seem too big. I'll definitely be careful, and I'm going by her weight so I'll never give her anything she can't handle.
