After reading all the other posts, I had the following thoughts.
1. why are you feeding live prey it is really dangerous for the snake, in particular if you are going to feed live at least stay and make sure the mouse does not attack the snake. About 15 years ago my dad gave me a baby Burmese python that was a very agressive feeder. I stunned a mouse ( thought I had killed it ), put it in the cage. When I returned from a date the mouse had come back to and eaten out the side of the snake and three ribs or a very healthy baby burmese. I have never forgotten that lesson.
2. Second thought I agree with scottish until you have the time and funds to build a new cage put that cage on its side for her.
3. Get some triple sulfa ointment and put it on the rostral and it will help heal the wound quicker.
Good Luck,
