My baby kingsnake has a bad habit of doing this too, the greedy guts doesn't care how it goes down just as long as he's getting food.

lol, all my young royals are bottomless pits and would eat forever if i let them my older ones get a bit more fussy, but i guess as they arent growing and have larger reserves they can go longer.

Nah I dont always feed on chips, I know you're not meant to due to impactions, but i find if i get some of my royals out of their enclosure for feeding in a seperate box, they're so interested in the box and being handled they completely ignore the food!

I'm very careful to use dry rodents though that substrate doesnt stick to, and monitor them whilst they eat.
