It's a pet snake that isn't used to hunting wild mice, so the mouse can actually end up hurting the snake and even killing it in some instances.

But if you wanna risk it go for it I guess.

NAYRT

Okay this is a dumb question, but don't snakes have preferences, for lack of a better word? I read somewhere that some will only eat live mice and some are okay with pre-killed mice. IDK if it's true though, I don't know anyone who owns a snake.

Is it true?

Yes. Some snakes will only eat live food that they kill themselves. Some snakes can be trained to accept dead food. It depends on the snake.

As a snake owner, it depends. The "it will hurt or kill the snake!!!" argument only applies to larger snakes. Many owned snakes are small and as such eat "pinkies" or "fuzzies". These are baby mice that are usually so young they're still blind. "Hoppers", the third size up of feeder mice, are active and can bite the snake. Still, the snake will almost always be unharmed due to a combination of hard scales and weak baby mouse bites.

Even if the snake isn't from the wild, many are given live food from birth. It can be very hard or impossible to train the snake out of eating live food.

You usually see the snake being harmed with rats and small pythons.
