My yearling BP eating a HUGE RAT

Generally it’s a bad idea to feed your snake wild animals. If you have no way of verifying that animal is free of disease, parasites or poison, don’t risk it. Ever. Unless you have your own lab to do blood tests or X-ray vision, you can’t judge that by just looking at an animal.


Good luck. Hope your snake will be okay.

This ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I'm in total agreement, I'd NEVER feed a wild-caught rodent to my snakes for all those same reasons (diseases, parasites, or carrying a less-than-
lethal dose of poison & other contamination), you cannot possibly tell by looking & it's very risky for your snake. Hope you remember to get the stool checked by a
vet in the future. Also I'm not a fan of feeding super-sized prey....hope your snake is OK.
