Thera,

I have noticed this with a couple of my females. I only notice it when feeding F/T. When I feed live(fresh killed) there seems to be no issue. So I feel it might be a scent thing.

When I feed f/t to them I usually let them grab it and do their thing. Once they release I grab the mouse and gently touch/rub the nose of the mouse to the nose of the snake....usually (for me anyways) the snake will open and re-grab the mouse's head starting to swallow almost right away.

Just my 2 cents....


Keep us posted....

Chris
