So yeah, fed Mitch today on a fluff.
And he ate bum first, what does it mean?
Sorry if it sounds stupid, just he's never done it before.
Thanks |

Spot will nearly always bite at the middle then its just a game of chance which way he sets off jaw-walking & whatever end he hits first is the end he will swallow. Its odd looking when they have a mouse head poking out of their mouths but either way is fine, though sideways is one I've not seen yet lol. |

If I was a snake I'd have to check out the bum first lol! 
Seriously though,Loki and Falcor have done the bum first feeds too. They don't do it as much now they have furrier prey,I think the direction of the fur helps. As for Sabai,well I'll have to wait and see. |

Means he likes to eat bums XD
My corns eat either head or bottom, which ever smells more lol. The King it's the food sideways but that's because he's thick.
So my Mitch is just a bum man now then?
Maybe :P Not sure if head man or bum man sounds more rude though!
I think they both sound as bad as each other xD didn't think of him being a head man lol |

Well with constrictor snakes in the wild the prey is usually dead so they don't need to worry about the bitey end being under control, captive bred snakes just go through the motions of killing their prey, don't they? |

Also head first to get the potential bitey end under control as well.
With a lo of captive snakes you could seee that. Going from the side is totally different. |

I thought snakes preferred to eat head first to avoid going against the fur of their prey? |

as long as it went down and stayed down it's fine
plenty of snakes eat prey items bum first or even sideways! |
