Leaving a rat or a mouse in the tank unsupervised can be fatal to your snake , especially over night :eek:
what i would do is move the snake into a smaller enclosure make sure temps/humidity levels are correct and leave for him/her for a week then feed him either f/t or live (live feeding MUST always be supervised
)
i dont mean to sound rude to you , im just trying to get the point across that unsupervised live feeding can be dangerous to your snakes health...why risk it??
