Snake didn't eat... What do I do with the live rat pup?

[abuja]

The mice and rats we feed our snakes are domesticated animals. They have been bred in captivity for generations to get certain traits, behaviours and colorations. They are as different from wild rats/mice as our dogs are from wolves. Please reconsider before turning a domesticated animal outside to fend for itself, it will not have the skills to do so.

The mouse's two fates were #1 Death by Snake #2 Death by other outside Predator. It was gonna die anyways. Also, my dad sure as heck was not keeping a mouse in the house overnight!
