no I had took rodent in to feed him and the other snakes butwhen I got othim I saw the hole( for lack of a better word) as he grabbed the rodent and I picked him up lookinf at it. He contiune to eat the one rodetn and I too khi mand the bowl with the second asf in to the comptuer room and he ate it while I was getting the ointment out. but I handle my snakes in the past while the eate with no problems I also offer them food once in a whiel while handlnig them no problems . I know if i get bit it no big deal.( to me)

I was more worried about the hole as it looked a day or so old but theer no blood or anythign in the tub so I am confused.
