mouse on sticky trap?

I have recently caught a mouse on a sticky trap. Sized perfect for my snake. just curious if the mouse would harm him if fed to my snake. I have him in a bucket with some water at the moment. also wanting ideas on how to maybe clean the mouse if possible. Reminder it is a wild mouse

I would not do it. The chemicals from the glue will be very harmful to your snake, not to mention you have no idea what parasites a wild mouse may have in its gut.

Be very careful around wild mice, they are among the top disease carriers out there.

Dont do it. as a wild mouse it likely has internal parasites. Also the glue on those traps is typically toxic. Just not worth the risk of your snakes health for the price of 1 mouse

You also have no idea what a wild mouse has come in contact with. I would be worried about possible poisons as well.
