Tail first?

I love you guys. I have been chuckling for two days. For those who haven’t caught on yet, I was just joking. It will not cause regurgitation to butt munch. Robbie knows, he can tell you.

Butt munching is one of the leading causes of regurgitation. This can be a very serious condition. As the prey item works its way into the snakes digestive system the “butt” starts to digest first while the bulk of the animal is still facing toward the snakes mouth. Due to reflex actions in the prey the animal starts to move away from the digestive fluids until it gets worked up into the throat at which point the snake gags and regurgitates.

If you see that this is happening, you should pick it up and turn it end for end in his cage. This will usually solve the problem.

You, sir, are pure evil. Not for what you said, but for beating me to it. :cheers:

The absolutely dry seriousness of it, plus the hilarious attempt to visualize the ultra-technical, but absurd, visuals has given me two smiling days, too, Wade. Thanks.
 
That was one solid post, Wade. I didn't know how to react after my serious answer to the OP. I was trying to be so diplomatic, I knew *I* had never had an issue or even heard about one from it! But I thought you were suggesting that the mouse needs to be turned, and just worded it strangely. I've posted while impaired myself before.
