Just Curious...

I was feeding my snake today and I put him in his feeding box and then was getting ready to lower the rat in....well he got a little over-anxious I guess and went in for the attack....well he bit himself instead of the rat...I checked him out and didn't see any blood or anything...my question is: Has anyone else ever had this issue and if so should I be super concerned and/or is there anything I should keep an eye on to make sure nothing further happens from it or am I just worrying too much??

Thanks

Re: Just Curious...

As long as there was no injury I would not be concerned. Mine have done the same thing from time to time.

Re: Just Curious...

Yes, try not to worry.
Their scales are fairly resistant and if there was any damage, it will heal over the next couple of sheds. -- Bites from rats or mice are much worse, so I hope you are feeding pre-killed or F/T.

Re: Just Curious...

Well thanks for the reassurance...and I am not feeding live rats...I've seen the damage they can do....
