To the point of having large gaping wounds and bleeding. He just couldnt get along with any of the males in any of my male tubs so I fed him to my Burm figuring it would be more humane than to let him suffer. I have also fed ASF's that had tumors. The ASF's get these from a virus and once they begin, they spread extremely fast. Growing from one to 6 or more in a matter of days. If a rodent is picked on or has tumors its better to just use them as food for their sake and the sake of the rodent colony. It wont hurt the snake at all.
