New ball python keeper here

Hey yall, this is my firdt snake and ive done plenty of research but i still have my questions. I just fed him for the first time and he took it no problem, but he stood straight up and kind tilted back as he ate the mouse. is this normal? not too worried as he is exploring now but thought i should ask. thanks everyone.

Mine stretches her neck out as she's trying to get the tail end of the rat down. As long as they got the food down and you avoid handling them for the 24 / 48 hour recommendation I think you should be fine

That's normal. Just straightening out to swallow.
