Medusa wasn't fed on sunday due to her shed, but she usually wolfs her food down as she's a greedy little so & so and she's been fed on a tuesday then later in the week on a sunday again so i thought it wont do any harm She striked but missed the first time, then again the second and on the third i accidently dropped it and it was caught on her tail, just as I moved the lid she's fed on in her faun she casually picked it up sideways and rearanged it and ate it head first?!   Has anyones snake ever done this before?! Was great to watch!  |

Yes Keith sometimes does this and it is usually if he misses a feed due to a shed. I think they just get a bit carried away because they are extra hungry. And you are right it can be quite funny to watch. |

Yep Spot goes in Vampire style, grabs it at the neck then gum shuffles to the nose before swallowing. Its quite cute watching them shuffle round without letting go, showing off how flexible their jaws are. |

It was just funny the way she casually picked it up sideways and rearranged it then decided to swallow it as quick as she can :) She's so cute! |

I've only had to feed Egon twice, so far, but he always rearranges it so he gobbles it down head first! :) |
