Ah...okay. A little hard to tell from the photo; I was curious because I don't know anyone who feeds live rats. Too risky and unpleasant. :medbugged

Yeah i know. When I first got into the hobby, I was feeding a baby albino burmese a live mouse and the mouse fought literally to its last breath. It took a couple of sheds before the bite marks were gone. Lesson learned there...........chris

We only feed live pink and fuzzys when we have to. We will soon have "Fang's Story" to post. He is a rescue boa that was bitten in the face by a live hamster. The people surrendered him after he quit eating - and his body was getting smaller while his head was getting bigger. He was brought to the rescue in the back of a pickup truck, in the middle of November, bottom glass of his aquarium had broken out during the ride. He had a huge festering abcess on his face. Had he not been such a nice snake in spite of what people had done to him ( he was formerly a stage prop for an exotic dancer) we would have chosen to end his suffering. We were amazed he was still alive!! Over a thousand dollars of surgery and treatment to remove infected bone and tissue, he is on the mend. We will have pictures soon, and will keep him on display at the zoo as an example why feeding pre-killed or F/T is the most humane.
