Quite an adventure, for sure.

I have very little experience with "pet" snakes and would never keep a rodent as a pet; however, when I was a kid, my sister had a pet snake. She fed it live rodents (don't recall if mice or rats). She fed it once and the snake apparently wasn't hungry, so the rodent stayed in the cage with the snake for a period of time (I think about a week), and eventually bit the snake. From that point forward, the snake was no longer docile enough to handle. Always tried to attack my sister. We ended up tossing it out into the desert to live out his life in the wild.
