My baby Brooks king always uses his whole body to coil. Do your snakes do this as well?

Most of mine only use the 1st 3rd of their bodies.
My jungle does the same as minkness's snakes. I think it's awesome that your little one uses his whole body has a nice feeding response :)
When my milk snake used to eat live, he used his entire body lol. But now that he only eats f/t he doesn't even coil. He just gets straight to swallowing it.
My gopher hasn't been an aggressive feeder since I got him. He eats every 5-7 days and doesn't skip a feeding, but he's very lazy about it. Doesn't strike, coil, nothing. Just kind of opens his mouth and starts swallowing it.

One of my Russians (the same that will strike at glass while feeding time) sometimes uses her whole body too. But most of the time she's too busy with striking to coil properly and will use only half of her body.

My female carpet is 5ft and she uses most of her body but my smaller male won't just a few coils

My snake only throws a single coil or two. It's something like 20% or so.

My BRB coils his entire body. everyone else knows the rat is already dead ;)
