Re: Best place for snake to strike mouse
I would say yes if you feed live like i do its the best place that way the rat or mouse cant come back around and bite the snake

What you have to do is get a non-toxic marker and paint a bullseye on the mouse's head so the snake has a target to aim for. :-)
Just kidding, definitely don't do that.

Re: Best place for snake to strike mouse
The head is definitely a good place for the snake to hit. I always worry when one of my snakes hits a rat low on the rat's body. When that happens it is much easier for the rat to potentially bite or harm the snake.

Re: Best place for snake to strike mouse
hey bud i would knock out the feeder before giving it to the snake, I unfortunately lost a young albino berm when i was younger and just starting out with snakes and i know a berm wasn't the best starter. anyways i put the rat with the burm and it hit the rat by the side didnt get a good coil arond it and the rat bit the head of my burm, killing it instantly. so now a always with my ball pythons knock it out where its stunned and put it infront of the snake the feeder will still jump but it wont comprehend to bite back... I say never take a chance bud...

Re: Best place for snake to strike mouse
And don't take that advice above me. Either feed live or feed f/t. "Thumping" the prey item is inhumane, and gives the prey a chance to "come to". When they do, they are scared and in pain, so they will lash out at the only thing available: Your snake.
Your snake knows where to strike, they have been doing it for millions of years.

Re: Best place for snake to strike mouse
best way to avoid your snake getting bit, let it do the work and keep some hemostadts in case the rat/mouse starts chomping, you can use them to move the prey's mouth away from your snake!

Re: Best place for snake to strike mouse
Lesser gets his prey by the mouth almost every time, but it started to worry me after I read a thread about a mouse biting the inside of his snakes mouth and alot of issues afterwards. Im sure that that was a one in a billion shot, because my mouses head cant move in the clutch of allmighty lessers mouth

Come here little guy. You're awfully cute and fluffy but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat

Re: Best place for snake to strike mouse
I always wear gloves when I feed mine so if my snake grabs too low and the mouse/rat has a chance to bite him I pull the rodents head back so there is no chance. I would rather be a bit "inhumane" then let my snake be bitten.
