Hi everyone, just a wee remind about why you shouldn't feed live rodents to your BPs.
I always pre-kill or do frozen thaw based on availability and this is exactly why. A bite like this could have really hurt my BP and may have allowed the rat to kill him if a live feeding was unsupervised. There are rare cased when live is ok, but by and large its a matter of snake safety. I'm glad to take one for Mr. Belt, and I'll be more glad when I'm cleaning this rat of the bottom of his tank.
