They might nip the snake, but have never broken the skin, and in my experience, once they feel a nip, they just constrict tighter and the mouse is more concerned with trying to breath than biting.
I seriously doubt that tweezers are necessary. Let your snake do it's thing, years and years of evolution have made her quite capable of dispatching the mouse without your assistance. If you're concerned about the mouse biting your snake to the point of assisting your snake with tweezers, you might want to consider f/t or pre-killed.![]()
