Lets settle this thing once and for all.

You should not leave your snake alone with a live rat or mouse. The Rat / Mouse should not be bigger around then the thickest part of your snake. If you drop the rodent in, and watch to make sure your snake kills it within 20 minutes, the rodent will not hurt your snake.

So here is the question. Has anyones snake ever been bitten during the struggle of the snake constricting the rodent? If your snake was bitten, was it a cut that quickly healed? Did it leave a scar? If so, please post a picture of the scar as proof for all to see.

I belive it is perfectly safe to feed snakes live rodents as long as it is done correctly. Prove me wrong if you can.
