Dont like arguing with Aaron

but if you are feeding live you shouldnt leave the snake/mouse unattended in case the mouse attacks the snake, all live feeding should be 100% supervised imo

I know it's pages apart but sometimes a snake won't eat when someone is around and lights are on. There obviously wasn't an issue with this cornsnake but some snakes are difficult and leaving the room for 10 minutes or so won't really hurt. Aslong as you're using prey that can't really hurt a snake. I generally leave fuzzy mice in overnight with my sand boas.
