Stupid eater!?!?!?!

[wo0thigh]

I'm currently watching my royal trying to eat a rat from the side, for the last 20 mins hes been at it. I keep trying to turn it, but he's adamant that hes gunna eat it from the side... its not gunna happen!!!

My corns great, straight for the head... nom nom... gone!

Boa has just spend the last 10 mins dragging it around the room coiled up, whilst occasionally sniffing it :/

Do you have any stupid eaters?

My Boa will eat everything tail first.

She starts at the end of the tail and eats it like spagheti before eating the rest arse first

I've seen her eat a rat side ways though, she pretty much folded it in half.

my saharan sand boa does that, turn off the light - then mine seems to eat it fully.

All mine are stupid eaters, apart from my female corn who has a ferocious appetite and is more interesting in getting it down quickly than "killing" it.

Haha my royal is the good eater, my corn is the stupid one! He even managed to bite himself once...

My King does that. Just strikes for the movement, even if it's himself.

They are all crazy! Boa still moving around the floor sniffing it :/ and last time I checked the royal the rat had burst... lovely!

Mine had already struck and coiled.. he was just trying to find the head He was in shed/had cloudy eyes at the time so i'll let him off the stupidness :P

Oh god...my royal never gets it right the first time..always grabs it in the wrong place, usually by the side and obviously it's just not going to happen like that lol
Last time I fed him I had to offer the rat 4 times before he got it right ¬¬ if I don't offer it again he just gives up and leaves it there lol

Are you kidding me?!?! All of you that is, I mean, that seems quite normal.

Bet none have you had a snake that chews the rats tails? Is that a no I hear? Yep, that was my royal on her last few meals!

And none of you have had snakes that has consumed paper 5 inches down, that was my baby dumeril!!!
