@Jarich

I haven't ever heard of a snake killing a rodent defensively. I'm interested in hearing more on that if you have any links.
Really?

Snakes will sometimes kill something just because it's irritating them. I've had snakes here who after a bit of teasing will take the rodent from me but won't eat it.

Probably was just tired of having it shoved in around it when it didn't want it there in the first place.

I don't know if that's defensively or whatever but I've had a small number of snakes do it.

Yeah, really. I've never had it happen. I usually throw a thawed rat in and leave.
