i got my first rat "nip" with my male last feeding day. first i offered it to my female, she didnt eat so i threw it in with my male. it was freakin out and defending itself and ended up biting him.didnt pierce the skin but it did bend a scale or two. shouldnt have fed it because i knew it was alreadt stressed from being in my females cage. i should've known and i shou;d've let it calm down. dumb move on my part.

i wouldnt feed for a couple weeks, to let the wound heal and to keep the snake stress free for a while.
