Eating Butt First

I'm not quite sure what to do but my ball python (who is 3) has consistently ate butt first and will only go for the head after struggling for 20-30 minutes 3/10 times. The other 7 is either him giving up or getting the butt successfully down his throat. I do take the extra time to run hot water across the head of which he will strike successfully but then he'll reposition to the butt...

I sat watching my danger noodle Jafar do the same thing he definitely lost the last of braincells doing that.. he got there in the end but me and partner were laughing while watching him try though 😅
