These mice are too small for the python and he doesn't feed it live food anymore. He gets frozen medium rats. Even if we found a rat, we wouldn't feed it to the python. No telling what it might be carrying.
My son used to have a bunny downstairs too. When rabbits get frightened they thump a hind leg to warn the others. Years ago when the python was small (he's about 6 years old now), we were cleaning in the basement and the bunny was thumping up a storm. About 15 minutes later I noticed the snake wasn't in his cage. The bunny had been warning us that the snake was slithering across the carpet in front of his enclosure (python was way too small to do a bunny at that point, but the bunny didn't care). We found in him a hollow leg on a foosball table. He's only gotten lose one other time over the years. We couldn't find him anywhere. Knew if he got upstairs (main part of the house) that the cats would let us know). My son figured he'd curled up somewhere and gotten too cold and died. My older son refused to sleep downstairs during that time. We put out heat pads to try to draw him out at night, etc. Finally one night about 2 weeks later, he slithers in front of my son's tv while he was playing Xbox. I went out and got a new taller aquarium with a tighter lid.
I'm not afraid of mice and I'm not afraid of pythons and boas either.
