Hey, I was feeding my BMKS(black mexican king snake) today and the oddest thing happened. I like to wiggle the mouse around when feeding to get her to strike and curl. I put the mouse in front of her and she past right by and when i put it up to her body she "crushed" it with the lower part of her body. Her head wasn't even looking at it at all, I have never had this happen! I have had them let go with their mouths and keep crushing it but never without bitting it first. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happened or if it is really common and I am just too new to the trade to have had this happen.
