Rats biting snakes

[satomi325]

For those that feed live or have fed live. How often would u say that a rat or mouse was able to injure your snake while the snake is killing it? Assuming appropriately sized prey..

After being bit by a mouse myself I couldn't imagine the pain it would b for such a small snake. I would never leave it Unattended but my girl doesn't seem to be the most accurate this last feeding taking a couple long distance shots and missing so to speak.

Amd random but being nervous about this what if I were to feed the mouse or ray penut butter right before I give it to the snake.. to cushin tho blow or make it harder for the mouse to bite

Hundreds of feedings and zero biting incidents. Maybe 8% of those feedings had a potential for a bite, but I always just shove a chop stick into the feeders mouth so it was all good.

Mice tend to be more bitey than rats.

Just make sure the feeder is calm, well fed and hydrated, and the appropriate size.
