bp trying to eat.

Sure you can, actually I do it all the time. You don't want to leave the mouse in there for a long period of time, you can go back and check in about 10 minutes. But if you've got a snake that is timid of eating in front of you, watching it isn't going to help him eat.

Very true. That's why I suggested frozen. I wouldn't risk leaving the snake alone with a live prey animal for any amount of time. But that's just me.
