    You are joking, right ? No one in their right mind would even think of such a dumb thing, let alone try it.

    If the snake getting bitten worries you, you feed frozen/thawed, otherwise you do what any responsible owner does and carefully supervise feeding live.

    Buy f/t rats or prekilled? I don't know how or why anyone would do that. Feeding live rats can result in a bite, but it doesn't happen all that often, especially if you are feeding young rats. The only bites I have had were from medium sized rats, which is why I will most likely switch to f/t or prekilled when it comes to adult rats.

    my personal opinion is that the rats that wild snakes eat are not tied so therefore why would u tie the mouth of a rat u feed your snake?

    im new to this and i wouldnt suggest or try that - the f/t might be a better option for you unless youve tried that and the snake wont eat it

    Would the object that you tied the rat's mouth with be any less dangerous for the snake??

    Re: How to tie a rat's mouth?

    Perhaps the question to ask the OP is this... has someone told you this or have you read somewhere of this being done?

    You see son, first you BAIT your hook, then you throw it in the water and wait for the fish to bite. If you've got the right bait in the right pond you can catch some goshdarned whoppers.

    No bait, no bite. No bite, hungry troll.

    Personally, I use a nail gun. Got so I can hit the buggers running at 10 meters 7 out of 10 times.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?
