its will be fine, its just harder for them to get it into its mouth, my bredle eats backwards 50% of the time if its on the floor when i feed her, but if shes on her perch when i feed her and she hanging upside down she eats head first every time lol go figure lol

I have had my big corn strike at a funny angle and eat belly first, just took a while for the mouse to effectively fold in half as she ate it. I am sure in the wild they dont get a perfect head feed everytime either.

He will be fine.

As stated not an issue at all, if the snake cannot swallow it will spit it out & try again from another angle, its those sideways eaters that have issues LOL Mark
