    Do I feed it or not?

    I have been keeping big rats for my big snakes and i had one left. I noticed it was acting funny. So just 3 minutes ago the rat started flipping out and I think it died. Its not moving anymore. So my question is...do you guys think its safe to feed one of my snakes? Or just toss it? Thankyou all!!

    I assumed that. Never seen one do that before. Definitely wouldn't want my snake to do that.

    Although it probably is fine, I wouldn't risk it. Healthy prey = healthy predator.

    I am going to the rat dealer and see about getting another one.
