Re: eating backwards... help

Re: eating backwards... help
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.

Re: eating backwards... help
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
