I did my first live feed today

My guy has been eating medium rats with no problem but since this was my first live feed I decided to go with something smaller as I was paranoid about my snakes safety. I ended up settling on a small rat.

I wasn't having a problem doing it until I let the rat loose in Kismet's enclosure. He was really cute

He just ran around and started grooming himself in the water bowl. Kismet immediately responded and came out of his hide and within 15 seconds he had struck the rat. The rat tried to scratch with his hind legs a little, but Kismet really ended it quickly for him. He was dead within 60 seconds or so.

Now he is just laying over there with the biggest look of snakey satisfaction on his face, as if to say "FINALLY A LIVE ONE".

I'm not sure if I will continue to fee live prey or not... we'll see!
