A rat isn't much of a threat to a full grown BP, even during constriction. The smaller BPs are more vulnerable to being bitten during constriction. However, most feeding injuries occur when an owner leaves a live rodent alone with an uninterested bp, and the rat does its damage at that point. Regardless if its right or wrong to feed live, it must be done under close observation.

(I'm not really addressing you Tray, just making a statement for those out there that read all of the live vs. f/t debates on here.)
