if you read his post...

it was his FATHER who left the rat in the tank,the op was unaware of this until he woke up,and saw a dead rat and wounded snake

If you read my post, you'll see I was talking to the OP and used "he," as opposed to "you." So obviously I knew that and took it into consideration.

Could a rat really make a cut that long? I would have thought that there might have been a lot of smaller wounds from a rat rather than 1 long one

Op- You really need to get that snake on paper towels or news paper. Check your humidity,heat and then leave the snake alone until it heals up. Once you start offering food again i would offer much smaller prey for a while.
thank you master kat
