    Bp got bit!
    I fed my spider tonight and the freaking rat bit him. This is only my third feeding since I've had her and I'm on the process of switching him to F/T. I notice there is like a small puncture but there is no blood. I haven't inspected it closely cause I'm afraid that she might regurgitate if I handle her. What should I do? I have a neosporin and betadine on hand. Should I treat the "wound" now or wait till she digest her food?

    From the pic, I doubt any damage was done, the rat would have to be able to close it's mouth to cause serious damage. In the future keep chop stcks on hand, so you can insert in rats mouth to prevent it from biting if your snake had a bad strike.

    Yes. As long as it is the Neosporin without pain killer...
