Eventually he went to slither away so I went to take the rat by the tail because he clearly didn't want it. He then struck about 1 yard away from me on the floor twice really quickly.

1. Was the animal dead when he was slithering around it?
2. Where were you feeding him? It sounds like you took him out and were feeding him on the floor of your house or apartment?
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
