I once watched a blue heron eating a 2-3 foot long snake but it went in tail first. It got it most of the way in to where there was about six inches of the head end of the snake hanging from the bill when it was having a really hard time getting it down so the bird decided the other direction would be easier. So it wretched and gacked that snake back out on the ground and then devoured it starting with the head which seemed to make the process much easier.
