When you pull up the lips of a live rat, the teeth (top and bottom) are both exposed. Just snip the 2 front top ones off, then proceed to the bottom 2. Most rats don't seem to mind - it doesn't seem to hurt them.

I've seen rabbits front teeth cut off when transporting males together. They cut the teeth out so that one male doesn't chew the testicles out of another. Doesn't seem to bother the rabbits much either (much less than having their testicles chewed off I would guess)

Also Jeff, I would imagine baby bunnies would be much less potentially dangerous to a snake than a rat or hamster would be.

I'm not sure If I'd be able to feed a cute live baby bunny to a snake, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I had a snake get bit like that mk-ultra, I held it just like that and the snake nailed it right away but somehow it bit the snake near the base of the head. but... if you have no other options then this is most likely the safest method of presantation for the snake.
