So, I tried to feed Samus my first BP after 1 week of acclimation. The Breeder fed her live so I was scared she might not take the Frozen fuzzie I had. Surprisingly, she took the F/T fuzzie in seconds, came straight out of the hide and just struck, constricted for 2 mins and ate like normal.

For the second feeding, same deal. She came out, struck, but for some reason didnt hold on to the fuzzie, it just dropped from my tongs when I realeased as she hit it. Her head bounced back to her own body and she clamped down on herself and began constricting.... herself. kinda dumb eh. So she wouldn't let go after a min or two.. I took her out and slowly unwrapped her from herself.. she had totally clamped on and finally let go. No apparent injuries though, she did not break the skin.. scales are a bit messy looking but thats it.

So, as she was sitting on my bed after this traumatic event, I was telling my friend who was watching that she was so stressed she probably wouldn't eat for a while. (remember she's only been here for a few weeks)
He said something like... "just try again you never know"
so I respond if she strikes it will probably only be defensive and she won't eat etc.

I offer again, while she is on my bed and she strikes after a few seconds of me dangling, she holds on and constricts feebly for 20 seconds before letting go and commencing to eat. Imagine my surprise. however, the fool began eating the mouse backwards, and not using her body to wedge it into her mouth.. she struggled for a min and the just flipped her head straight up into the air, mouse still inside and swallowed that way.. mouse backwards, facing straight up, just used gravity to swallow... really nutty looking.

I put her back in the tank and she seems fine.... i guess i won't have too many problems with her eating huh?

I've never in my life seen a snake eat in that position.. looking like a kid chugging a drink hahah
