Cleo's eaten a couple butt first (nothing like wrapping your lips about a damp mouse butt - YUM!) and last thing, she had tagged it from the back end, so we were afraid she was gonna go butt end again.

I reached in with my hemostats while she was repositioning herself in hopes of helping rearrange the mouse to get the nose end in front of her - but she struck at the hemostats..."*MY* mouse! Back off lady!"

Don't mess with a snakey while eating, hehe! She did take it nose end first. "See?! I know how to eat...now go get me another mouse, woman!"
