I feed live to my bp who has ate live all 4 of her years on this green earth.

Last week I had one of the scariest moments in live feeding i have had. I usually give the rat a slight flick on the nose to disorrent them slightly. Well this week I just didn't do it because it was a pretty small and docile rat.

WELL What a mistake I made. The rat was wrapped up and then WHAM blood was oozing out from the pythons head. Suddenly I looked closer and then it looked like he had snagged her eyed. Horros stories shot through my head. The vet bills the rush witha bleeding snake. Losing my breeding female. OH THE TERROR.

Lucky me the rat had only bit it's own leg and it was bleeding profusly with a broken foot.

I think I need to consider thumping the rat a little harder to disorient him. Becasue she went 6 weeks off food trying to switch over. Zombie rat dances and all.

Anyone else have any live feed horror stories?
