One of my roommates got a python, and a family of hamsters to feed it, disregarding the "plants and fishtank OK, rodents and/or reptiles NOPE" rule set by the landlady. Then he went away for a holidays' week, leaving his pets' care to the other roommates.
The hamsters went missing while I was away for the weekend; I think they managed to climb out of their box, Roomie denies the whole hypothesis and affirms that someone MUST have let them out (or possibly stolen them) and called the landlady on this. Now she thinks I'm a lying, hamster-murdering psychopath.
Also, the python is still here.

...she was stupid enough to leave the hamsters' cage unsecured enough that they could get out, explicitly against the advice of the landlady.

I don't think she has a leg to stand on, OP. I mean, I understand that people get upset when they lose their pets, but her accusation is pretty tenuous.

...who the fuck gets a family of live hamsters to feed a snake? That sounds like a bad idea for absolutely every living thing in the vicinity. Your roommate is a tool.

Yeah. You're not supposed to feed live animals to snakes. It's unsafe for the snake and cruel to the hamsters. Can you convince the landlady you're a lying, hamster-rescuing psychopath? I mean really, he was going to feed them to a snake anyway and was breaking the rules.

Er... do snakes in the wild wait until they stumble upon a frozen dead rodent, then?

No, but they're being fed not in a small enclosure where the rodent has no chance to get away and may fight instead. Rodents can be surprisingly ferocious.

This. In some places, that would get you arrested for animal cruelty.

that was my first thought too. just buy dead frozen mice like a normal person

Some snakes don't eat prekilled mice. I used to have to stun mice to feed my python.

ah, right. i feel like i've heard that before but then forgot it.

but in any case, dropping live, conscious hamsters into a snake's enclosure is obviously a bad idea.

Really. Hamsters? Just buy feeder mice.
