To cut or not to cut??

[Reptilegal]

I heard (I think on this forum) that someone's snake died after a meal of a pinky, and they did an autopsy and found that one of the pinkys claws had pierced thru the skin causing internal bleeding. In my picture thread here u can see legs of a quail poking out of my pythons mouth and can clearly see how sharp the claws are.
Would it be safer just to clip the sharp tips off the claws??:?
