Okay, this is my first post but I've searched these forums from time to time. This is more out of curiousity than worry. My ball python, Aleksandr, is healthy and eating his frozen mice like no tomorrow. Near the end of his mouse though, around the hips of it, he nearly always lifts his entire neck off the ground and goes vertical. At least 6 or 7 inches of his body go straight in the air and he just swallows like that. Has anybody seen this before? I like to tell my friends he is just showing off for them but I'd just like to know if I should worry.
