Today, I fed my 4ft python a live rat for the first time. He now has a new friend he won't let me near. FML

the snake is not dead or bitten. I knew what I was doing and the rat is dead and eaten. they were all buddy for a matter of 20 minutes.

Your Phyton is probably not hungry right now or something is wrong with his stomach

As soon as he gets hungry he'll eat it, so unless the rat shows signs he wants to bite your Python I wouldn't worry

My python is a rescue because of that... The rat ate through most of his spine & muscles. Luckily, his 1st owners finally took the rat out & gave him to some friends of mine for rehab. After ~1 year of rehab, he was able to be re-homed :-) It is common for ball pythons to refuse food. It is common that live food left in the enclosure will eat the snake. It's a slow and painful death for the snake.

Feeding live is an amazing way to give your python serious injuries. In the future, be prepared to keep uneaten rodents until the next feeding attempt. Please google snakes snacked on by their prey. *Applies anti-retard spray to self*

you need to take the rat out. it can very seriously injure your snake or kill it if you don't take it out.
