ate wrong?

[DeviledDiablo]

hey ppl.. howz it goin? i think i have a strange lil snake lol... a while back (when i was feedin em) he struck at my tongs instead of the mouse and juss today i was feedin em, he stuck at the side of the mouse.. hes about 6 months old.. ive had em since april 30th. and juss today i was feedin em a mouse and he stuck at it and tagged it on the side.. but instead of tryin to change how the mouse is goin down (head first) he juss started to eat it how he grabbed it ( on its' side ) i got kinda worried because he couldnt fit the mouse into his mouth but he kept tryin.. after about 3 mins of tryin he actually squeezed half the mouse into his mouth. ( but he was eatin it the wrong way ) he was still tryin to swallow the damn thing from the side.. ( so the tail and head where both facin out of his mouth ) i decided to try and take the mouse back out ( since he was takin it in wrong ) after a while of tryin i kinda gave up.. he wouldnt give up tryin to eat the damn mouse.. but i did get the mouse turned around.. so he ate the mouse tail first.. once that started to happen i left em alone for a while to go do some things.. when i came back.. he had it all down.. (kinda confusin.. i no.. hard to explain) but anyways i was juss wonderin if its bad for him to take a mouse tail first?? and also how i could prevent him from tryin to eat the mouse sideways the next time he takes one.. does ur snakes ever try and eat their food from the side first? plz help.. and is it bad for him to take down food backwards? (hes never actually try to eat one sideways or backwards b4) how do i prevent this from now on? ty
