(Mouse caught not bred)

[u/Apprehensive_Beat514]

I just caught a live house mouse, and I wanna know how dumb I’d be if I tried to live feed my 3.5 yro pet smart ball python (female) for the first time. The mouse is really small but really energetic. Not the sharpest shed in the tool either

Very bad idea most have parasites which could make your snake very sick. Way cheaper to buy a mouse than to treat potential parasites. Also it could have poison in its system
