i've had my adult bp for about 4 days now and decided to feed her. so many weird things happened that i don't know where to begin.

i bought a medium sized rat that looked a bit too big, but i figured she could eat it. as soon as i had the box the rat was in close to the tank, the snake was going freakin' crazy! she was blowing spit bubbles, drooling, and was acting like she couldn't find the rat in the tank.

she hit and wrapped him the 1st time only to let go to a still live rat 5 minutes later. the rat was biting her on the side but i luckily had a plastic hanger, used to coax the rat to move, that i used to get the rat from biting. only minor marks from that but she got a gash on her head from the damn aspen bedding stabbing her. i knew i should have hed her in a tub or something but i was told not to worry about it.

the 2nd time, she finally killed and ate it but my snake now has a head wound and i feel horrible. what can i give her?

was i supposed to hold the rat by the tail and let her get it? this sux major butt!
