In the wild, snakes eat what they can catch. Do I think it's dangerous to feed off a rat with lice? No, I don't. The snake can handle it.

Do I think it's good practice all the time? No, I don't. For one, all those poor miserable rats. Second, if you can provide a lice free rat, then do it!

I dont agree with the waste of life and food.
i agree, you would be able to tell an anemic rat hands down. so its not really an issue of if its bad for the snakes health either way. its just not a good practice because you should be considering the hygiene of your feeders for your own sake and theirs.
