>>I would only leave a live rodant in with the snake 15 mins-30 mins. at the most, leaving it over night gives a good chance that if it doesn't eat it, it will be chewed on in the morning. We refer to this as pray attack and it is never good. Do not leave live food alone for extended periods of time.

>>Also if you haven't already try the paper bage method. You simply put the snake is a tight container I perfer a tuberware and dorp in a nice warm prekilled, put the cover on, don't seal it so the snake has plenty of air, and let it sit a while. I have had great success with this method.

Your'e absolutely right,no live overnight that can harm the snake...but fuzzy mice that can barely see where they are going(,and are still used to feeding off mom)pose no threat to a hatchling ball...It works quite well actually.

That being said,it still really all depends on just how much the original posters animals weight is?..If it's two months old,it should be taking crawler rats by now..yes/no?
