At the risk of offending you... your snake is not befriending or playing with his food.

Even if you were using *playing* in the right context when referring to animals, which would be toying with, etc. Still I would say no. No. No.

Not sure what further elaboration to give you.

PS: fuzzy or not... there is NO reason for that feeder to be in with your snake for two days.

If you are going to feed live, then do so responsibly.
