Snake eating mice backwards?

Eating a mouse backwards is a common thing with young snakes. Do not worry, they will correct themselves on their own. If your snake feeds better in his enclosure, place some newspaper down over the substrate before you feed him and then remove it when he has finished. Snakes have powerful digestive fluids that pulverize and break down even the toughest foods. If your snake gets a huge piece of coconut fiber stuck on it's teeth, remove it. Very small pieces are not good either but, your snake will be able to handle them with no problem.
