Ive never had a rat bite my snake but one of them was really freaked out lunging and being crazy. But that was one time. I think i might start feeding live again. Been feeding prekilled for about 2 months. Luckily for me he will eat live or prekilled. Doesnt matter the color of the rat and he eats in deep shed. Is it riskier to feed live when his eyes are all "fogged up" from the shed?
