I just had a small rat get its mouth stuck wide open on one of my larger females 2 days ago and I totally wasn't prepared for that since it hasn't happened before. I freaked out and reached in there so fast that my wife said I looked like one of the ball pythons lol. I pulled the rats head back away from the snake's body and had to hold it until it died since it was still trying to bite. Ugh.

There were no visible bite marks/blood that I could see.
