[QUOTE="BassAddictJ, post: 3670113, member: 560415"] I'm well aware that the rodents, especially rats, have the teeth and will to bite the snakes wether they're scared or hungry/curious. Chances of the rat giving a single lethal bite to the snakes head are pretty stretched. Ussually soon as anything like that touches the snakes head, it jolts back to avoid it. Doesnt mean a bite cant happen, but chances of this hanious single blow killing this snake are pretty slim. Sedomly have i witnessed a rat just bite the snakes head or body without the snake already constricting the rat. When a curious rat does approach the snake and take a nip, it's almost always the body since the heads scared away from the moving sniffing head of the rat. These are also caged raised rodents that have never seen a snake before, and therefor dont see it an instinctively know they're in danger. And this is if the snake hasnt already gone for the head shot itself and is eating the rat. I think the chances of a lethal bite, or bite wound infection that dispite medical treatment would kill the snake is about as likely getting in as getting stuck by lightening. [/QUOTE]
