How's that? I know my snakes ... aggressive ones, timid ones, etc ... don't know the rodents from Adam ... (pardon the pun) ... rats and mice aren't vicious carnivores that are just sitting waiting for the opportunity to sink their fangs into a snake .... they are actually pretty passive until they are cornered, and contrary to popular internet forum beliefs, ball pythons are quite adept at cornering, killing, and eating live prey in a way that allows them to be safe.
