Fiesty Feeder Rat
Ow. This little guy took a nice chunk out of my finger before i dropped him in the basement of my local pet store....i finally chased him and put him back and went to get another and....boom another chunk out of my other finger. I am now bleeding a decent amount in this pet store...yes i got the rat that injured me. i am a little scared to feed him though as i dont want him to bite my snake? sorry if this doesnt make too much sense i have bandaids all over my hands and its hard to type without getting blood on my keyboard

When in doubt cervical dislocation will give you all the benefits of a live animal with all the ease of mind of a f/t. That is if you are really worried..feisty or not that rat wont do much when it has a snake squeezing the life out of it.

Put your rodent onto a flat surface, such as a table or counter. You can use something like screwdriver or stick to put behind it's neck. Push the rodent into the table with the screwdriver behind it's neck with one hand and hold onto it's tail with the other hand. Pull on the base of the tail until you feel/hear the vertebrae pop several times and the rat is dead. It takes like 2 seconds.
First one that popped up using the search box.

If it bit you in the pet store, it's probably going to cut your finger off if you try breaking his neck.
Should probably just let your snake kill the rat. He's an expert on the subject matter.
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

I have to be honest, I do not have the heart to do that. The rat is in the cage now, not causing a scene or anything so it will be wrapped soon. I might start gassing with dried ice though

Is she sexually mature? maybe just a personal fast.
