today i fed my baby corn a pinkie, but he seems to have trouble getting it down.. he gets the whole thing down, and closes his mouth, but then i go to check him, and theres a tail hanging out, with the snakes mouth open.. should i be worried?

my ball doest that with the smallest of meals. I dont know if u mean the tail goes down and then comes back up? When they open their mouths at the end of a meal they are readjusting their jaws.
