How to tie a rat's mouth?

[Homegrownscales]

There is just no reason to tie a rats mouth. If you are feeding that large of a meal use prekill or ft methods. Prekill usually works best for the snakes that prefer live bc the rat twitches and is still warm. In all honesty even my largest girls don't eat jumbo rats and those are the ones that can usually do the most damage. I feed smaller more frequent meals for one of those reasons.

I also feed live rats to my BP and I was nervous about him getting bit, so I started using hot glue to hold the rats mount shut, then I lop off all his toes so there are no nails to scratch the snake with either.

I hope to heck you are kidding. If you are not you might like to know that over here you would be arrested and jailed for animal cruelty for doing that and forbidden from keeping animals for years after you were released.

And if the rat bites the snake eye?That happened to my friend.Result-a half blind snake.My python doesn't eat dead rodents.Often after the snake coil-her head is under rat mouth and he bites very bad.My boa eye before 12 years was bitten,it was a LUCK she didn't lost her eye.

Feed it a younger rodent.Or feed it P/K.
