I have to disagree with you here. Yes, bites can happen when you feed live prey. I have a snake that is very picky latley and I am going to have to try and feed live. This snake does not accept f/t prey. There are many people on here who feed live prey without any problems. To the OP, can you post a picture of the wound that your snake has? You may be able to just treat the wound with neopsorin without the pain reliever in it. There is no need to come down so harshly on someone that feeds live.
