Rats biting snakes

[MrLang]

I've seen a guy on YouTube put the rat in a plastic bag and spin the bag to get the rat dizzy before placin it in the enclosure. Do you guys think that's a good method to prevent your snake from getting injured?

No


You don't want to freak the rat out at all. You don't want to spin it, club it, smack it, talk trash to it, or anything that puts it into defensive mode before dropping it with your snake. You want it to be as clueless as possible. Ball pythons hunt by AMBUSH. You don't want the rat going in there thinking something is up.
