Don't think I ever have seen them eat from the butt forward! Looks like he screamed the whole time and got to watch:eek:! Nice macro shots! Mine usually bite them behind the neck.
Yesterday, I had one eat the head off her brother and the body was still alive (I fed this to my fischers-he didn't care that it had no head) then she? ate her other brother. Took her most of the day. Guess they were to big to share a 18x18x30 cage with plenty of crickets to eat instead. They were a couple molts away from being adults.
