>>i have just rescud a bp with severe rat bites, it has skin missing from a strip totaling in length at least 75%of its back
>>plus all the damage to other aeas, notably the rostrum and the sides
>>some places were chewed down to the bone others were just the surface. either way the physical damage is severe, and it has been 2 months since i first saw this snake in the petshop, and it still hasnt fully closed the wounds.
>> this was a combination of live feeding and negligence.
>>so yes there have been cases. someone else has the link to the pic of a rat chewed ball. i am sure they can pass it along.

Here is that link it is not pretty so if you don't want to see this do not click on the link.
