So I thaw out his fuzzy and get it all nice and warm and offer it to the snake. The snake struck and missed the F/T fuzzy and in it's excitement, bit itself in the neck!! And then couldn't get unstuck.

I had to slowly work the teeth of a ball python in feeding mode out of it's own neck without getting bitten myself ... not fun by the way!! ... The puncture wounds were nice and deep ... I cleaned the wounds and fed the snake (it ate like a champ) and afterwards I cleaned him again and applied neosporin.

The funny part is that after that I feed out about 200+ live rats and not a single snake got bit.

That is crazy! Are you now making the bold statement that live is safer!?!
