If the rodent is fed and taken care of before being placed in the enclosure with the snake it won't have a reason to find another source of food. It's also the reason you don't leave them alone for hours on end so they get hungry and start to eat the only other thing they can. The snake. That's why live feeding always have to be supervised and the rodents be taken care of before placing them in with the snake. As another person commented it's not the wild. The snake and feeder are trapped together. No means of escape for either of them. So these things can and will happen if not done properly. I hope this comment doesn't come off as rude or as an attack because that's not my intention. Just want to inform.

I don't feed live to snakes, so never.

The tables are turned as in the mouse ate the snake.

No need to inform me. I know what happened and why. I was commenting on the fact that everyone is upset because the snake died, which yes, us upsetting, but mice die every day to feed a pet snake somewhere.
