This might be a stupid question but, My corn just ate a mouse bum first, never seen her do that before, will this have any affects on her digesting it?

Don't worry she'll be fine just give her the usual 48hr no handling time. Some times they do eat things the 'wrong' way round its fine just might take them longer to actually eat it :-)

Thanks, she has tried a few times but could never get the tail down so normally gives up and turns it round and it goes down head first, but some how this time she manages to get the tail to run down the side of the mouse so she could eat it backwards. lol

Nah, it's quite normal for them to do that. My snakes do it all the time
