when i was researching getting a snake that's what all of the sites said you were supposed to do so that the mouse doesn't scratch the snake and cause an infection. it said you're supposed to kill it right before feeding it to the snake though so it was still warm. i know lots of people feed it live but the sites i read made sensesickpro5 said:Corn snake?...by the way, you don't need to kill the mouse before you feed it to the snake. Actually, I don't think most snakes will eat it if its already dead.
