Hey Aaron
Looks to me as if your snake is about to go through a shed hence the huey eyes. Personal Opinion don't feed your snake before a shed but a day after the shed instead. If your snake will only eat live then ALWAYS monitor the feeding. My bp won't eat unless it is live I've tried everything but its gotta be live so what I do is I hang the rat by the tail in tonges in the tank close enough for it to strike but far enough so the rat can't get at it. Works charms for me. If you notice the snake always strikes for the head if the option is open which works cause then it makes it hard if not impossible for the rat/mouse to bite back let alone makes it easier when swallow time comes along. Anyways about the cuts just keep'em clean daily and you should be fine however watch for anything that looks outta the norm. Best of luck to you and your fellow trooper there looks great(post some pics after shed).
