This is basically what I was after. Thanks! Here's the truth...I want to feed her live prey. I'm not a sadist, it just seems natural. Having said that, I have reservations about rats. They seem more aggressive, where mice seem to wander around and wait to be eaten. As the snake gets bigger and I'm more in tune with her feeding response, that concern may subside. For now, I'm not comfortable with rats and one mouse just doesn't seem big enough. Thoughts?
