my red tail takes for ever to eat and hes really messy with it. he kills the mouse right away (we feed him live) and then he spends 45 minutes or so squeezing it and chewing it til eventually he finds the head and eats it. it takes forever. however if i throw another mouse in right after he swallows the first its gone in less than ten minutes. im glad your snake does it too i just thought my snake was dumb. (hes cute though so its ok)
