And one other thing: you mentioned the danger of feeding live, with which most of us here heartily agree, but just to put you at ease, a "rat pup"
will NOT bite back IF the eyes are still closed. Same goes for mice...I mention this since their labels sometimes vary, but if the eyes aren't open yet, they do NOT
bite back. Hopefully you can get your BP on f/t prey (or freshly killed by you) before she needs larger prey where the eyes are open, as that IS a risk to your
snake.
