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

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

The rat could be pregnant. That's one reason why the ex's wouldn't eat one .

Can I say I love you for using a tilde properly? I'm a little excited to actually see it be used.

You now have two live animals you're responsible for. Put some cereal in for the rat to eat otherwise it WILL get hungry and bite your snake. The snake will eat it soon enough - but meanwhile you need to source some frozen rodents for your snake. Many pet shops stock them.

Well I guess you better go back to what you fed it before...or find something else

Get the rat out. I know it's a cute picture and all, but it WILL kill your snake if he doesn't eat it. It's very common for snakes to just lay in their tank and let an uneaten live rodent bite them to death.

what kind of python? are we talking ball python or Burmese python? if it's a ball python that rat is too big to eat. try feeder mice from petco. depending on shedding and mating patterns, it may just be fasting.

Lol if it's a Burmese then it's cold or sick... I've never in my life seen a Burmese turn down a meal... hungry or not

Be careful, the rat may attack it later. I've seen it happen, it isn't pretty. Glad all my snakes eat f/t mice, though it isn't without its risks.

Was it the first time you fed him live food? If so he might just not eat it and you gotta get the rat out of there asap before he claws at the snake

Well if that living arrangement is going to continue make sure there's food for the rat to eat, otherwise it will eventually attack your snake.
