Hope that it doesn't leave a permanent mark... My boss is not going to be happy... This one is his favourite.. I have 20 snakes there, this never happen and I dont understand.. I kept my eyes on the rat whole time.. He couldn't move a muscle... Is there a possibility for it to be something else?

Yes it could be something else. All I can do is give you my best guess based on the information I have. Things like this are always a risk when you feed live. Feeding freshly killed or frozen/thawed prevents this. It happens to the darker snakes too but we just don't see it. Being this close to a shed I would not put any kind of cream on the animal. Let it shed out and see how it looks.
