Does anyone else have this issue?

I have an adult Suriname female that started eating her rats tail first about three months ago, in total that is seven meals that have gone down tail first. I have had snakes do this on occasion but she seems to be making this her thing, just wandering if anyone out there has experienced this issue?
Thank you
Joel Thomas

I have one with a butt fetish myself. I have also heard other people say they have boas that eat that way too

My adult suriname female eats backward once every 3 to 4 meals. Its never been a constant thing though. I wonder why yours started this new habit?
