Well usually when I have to tempt my corn snake when I first got him (he was 8 yrs old) and I had to make the brains show on the mouse because he wouldnt feed and would only eat small rats which seemed way to big for a 5 foot corn. Well trying not to get off subject. When he constricted it blood would come out and get a bit messy so Im figuring anything that has a gash on its head may just make blood or liquids come out of it anyway, so the head could of just popped. Like when my corn would eat there would be blood right where he ate at and I'd have to clean it up. But I agree with you. Rodent Pro is notorious for porr packaging. But thats when you pick up the phone and complain and a couple times I've had disgusting mice comming in they'd refund my money or send new shipment to me. But another reason I'd rather just go to my petstore a few miles away and by f/t food.
