I'm pretty sure that was no half-hour of inattention to a live feed. No rat unless it's starved near to death, is way too oversized for the snake to handle, or left for huge amounts of time in a snake's enclosure does that. If we added up the hours of successful, safe live feeds done by BPNet members without incident to the snake and a clean, quick death for the rodent....well I'm sure it's an amazingly high number (I so suck at math LOL)
