Alright, I'm not jumping on you here, but someone's gonna say something sooner or later. Not saying you don't know what you're doing, or anything meant to be offensive, but it's kind of dangerous to leave your snake unattended with a live mouse. Many will go on and on about it being much safer to get them to take fresh killed or frozen thawed, which I myself practice. You may or may not know that a mouse can bite and do a lot of damage to a snake in no time flat and rats are even worse.
Please don't get offended, I just had to bring up that feeding live can get ugly real quick and a trip to the vet for bites that could have been avoided is a total drag. You may want to consider killing the food and using tongs to do the mouse dance. They still hit and constrict so it's still fun to watch and you won't risk a missing eye or bites to the face or anything unpleasant. Plus it's fun to be a puppeteer! :lol:
