Is it a good idea to maybe put a few pieces of dog food in the snake tub tgat only eat live so the rats get distracted during feeding time?

It helps keep the rat calm/distracted while the snake does its thing. It's certainly not a bad idea.

I do that. I add a single kibble to each bin with the rat and while it eats..................last meal.

I'm constantly amazed and a little amused by the number of people who think their BPs, who are uniquely designed for dispatching rodents, need human intervention to dispatch rodents...

:rofl:

Umm, actually therd have been plently of times rodents have injured or even killed snakes, so yeah human intervention can alot of times decide the end result of a feeding! Nothing wrong with making sure everything goes as smooth as possible!

I used to do that. I think its a great idea when it comes to feeding live. Its especially useful when your snake is in blue and cant really see or sense the position of the rat. Having the rat stay put would be beneficial instead of it running around the enclosure

They're also uniquely designed to hatch eggs on their own, and yet we most commonly tuck them away in an incubator. Amazing...

What about snake mites on snakes. Without human intervention, our pets wouldn't be able to completely remove the mites on their own. Have you tried pulling off a tick from a dog? It's not an easy task whilst ensuring you do not burst the tick in the process which might possibly spread the eggs all over their fur.

Heck, having a pet snake in itself is human intervention!
