I also know an owner that didn't watch the snake feed, instead just putting a rat in with the snake. He came back to find his python had lost an eye.
I don't like the idea of training them not to eat live meals...
Although loosing an eye... Clumsy snake is what I always say. How large is this rat vs the size of the snake?
