Here is another. And yes, this was from a mouse. And the snake had to be put down.

Dr-dolittle: That was a rat, that did that....in your link....Not a 2 inch mouse.

If it has open eyes and teeth it's a threat and should not be left unsupervised.

MrLang: This is a debate forum. I was never defensive, but you can get 1000 different advices on how to care for your ball python. So I need to test peoples statement. It's healthy to be skeptical. I tried google myself but must have used the wrong keywords. Now...The mouse on the picture seems huge and a viper doesn't get that big. I would never leave a rat inside with the ball python but unless you can demonstrate a fair argument preferably with documentation on how a 2 inch mouse can mutilate a BALL PYTHON...Not a viper, not an adder...But a Ball Python then I will be skeptical...And thats not ment as an offence...And neither to be defensive. I just think ball pytons are too bad ass for that statement to make sence...Unless its a freak coinscidence where the mice bites its eye. I will monitor the feeding from now on...But its hard for me to believe. Its an interesting question though.

To my understanding...The mouse knew the danger and was that fast meanwhile it look for a way to escape the cage...First time ever that a mouse seemed to understand the danger. Others just went straight into the strike zone unaware and naive.

As cool as our bps are, they aren't that bright. And if the snake is not interested in eating, it will literally just sit there while the rodent eats it alive without defending itself.

This was found by googling "mouse bites ball python"

It's your snake, so do as you want, leave it unattended. But don't say we didn't warn you.

Dr_Dolitte: Can you please supply me with a link? I will monitor the mouse in the future...This is not about being right...

Correct it's about the safe practice of keeping bps. It's pretty well known in the hobby you never leave live in unsupervised, especially over night.

Rob: Ok... I see...And that actually makes some sence...I red that they are very slow to register pain...Thats also why the first thing I did when I bought it was to move the lamp from inside the cage and installed UTH

Edit: Nevermind. Do some of your own research.
