I really hope they put that poor thing down. I'm sure it was a rat attack. I don't know of anything else that would do such damage. Poor poor thing. This is a perfect example as to why you should supervise live feedings.

Actually I rather wouldn't have seen this

[mommanessy247]

definitely a rat/mouse attack.
i'm SO glad i supervise my live feedings as neurotically as i do.
literally i sit in front of the terrarium, ready to pounce and interfere if my girl happens to get an iffy grab, which she has done a couple times but rest assured no injuries came of those odd feedings, well, none to the snake anyhow.
i also take detailed notes on every feeding session and i dont go away until my girl has finished swallowing the rat and is settling down in one of her hide boxes.
i'm also the ONLY one in the room during a feeding as well. this keeps traffic vibrations down and i dont have to worry about distractions or anything like that.

Can a mod put a warning in the title please?

thats what happens when you leave live rats or mice unattended with your bp

Really? I didn't need to see this at 8AM.

It is a little to early to be seeing an image like this. This is what happens when keepers are not responsible enough to supervise live feedings when leaving a mouse or rat alone with the snake for to long of a time period. Live feedings can be done just fine when monitored very closely. I hope this doesn't turn into a live vs. f/t feeding thread. We all have been over that one so many times it is not even funny.

Unfortunately yes, this is what can happen if you leave a rat/mouse unattended with your BP.
