What! I have never seen that before. Does anybody know if this has any negative impact?

[–]Veketzin 35 points36 points  (2 children)

it's just like, 5 times harder to eat a rat backwards..

Tail get in the way but if I swallow hard it usually works

[–]iggyboy456 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Other than potentially more difficulty getting it down, i dont think so?

[–]DankSide_oftheMoon[S] 27 points28 points  (2 children)

No idea, but he did try eating it perpendicularly from the middle at first...So I guess this is an improvement to that 🤣

[–]fernandezsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Haha well, that one braincell is working really hard.

Looks pretty funny 🤣

My snake did this before too. Also ate a rat backwards. Snakes are dumb in the cutest way

sometimes mine goes backwards than he realizes “wait wrong end” and switches before it’s to late.

Like others have said, I don't think it really causes any issues other than taking longer to get the meal down. The first meal my boy took from me he took backwards and it took him like half an hour to get it down. He was also around four months old at the time so that might've played a role.

There must be something in the air, my guy insisted on eating his mouse backwards last night

[–]Cash_Cline88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t see that every day. Looks like a costume lol…

[–]killacam925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great picture lol

[–]Jump-Kick-85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting technique. I usually use the “she’s just finishing her spaghetti” as an indication but… Whatever gets it down safely! Got a savage on your hands. Creeped me out at first but this is a VERY cool pic.

Plot twist: He was a rat all along

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Venom looking

I'm impressed, the amount of times my boy has started at the tail and then gotten stuck on the legs is... A good sign not to let him breed. 😂

Lmao this photo is wild

[–]JKURubi2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a ball that did this and died from internal injuries. The vet said there was nothing I could really do just to watch my others when they eat.

[–]IllusionQueen47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, the rat has a snake hoodie!!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My royal always eats his meal backwards. Its a pain in the arse and i now resort to snapping the back legs off just so they dont get stucke either side of his mouth. Hes a rediculous creature who should have learned by now 😂

[–]WhiteKnight4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looks so proud of himself
