thanks for sharin those pictures... first time i ever fed my snake, he was pretty excited, hadn't eaten in 2 months, and was pretty neglected prior to my owning him, he grabbed the mouse by the back foot... needless to say i was freakin out... the way he constricted it, there was blood coming from the mouth, and i thought, because of how he had coiled around it, that it had bit him. yey it hadn't the second mouse he downed he struck face first... and then happily ate it without any issues.
