I know that the mice CAN bite her but I check the mice carefully and if they seem eager to bite I will do a fast P/K and she will usually take them.
Yeah thats the ONLY thing that worries me about live... but they eat live in the wild... so I guess its really no different. I never have seen a snake eat live until tonight. It was pretty cool. Small rats are $3.99 from my local pet store which I guess isnt too bad right? I love my ball python... first one ive ever owned and they are so tame... so easy to handle.... theyre so cuddly if I can say that...lol!!
