Never PMSL, I feed out of the vivarium.
I woulds say its good for an hour maybe two before it will start to go off especially in a viv thats kept warm. |

I feed my lot at night and if there are any that dont feed I leave it in the viv overnight and remove it in the morning if its still there. but leave it in the cold end, you dont need to cook the rat for your snake  |

| Well it went in at roughly 6:30 so I will give it until about 10pm, if she has shown no interested then just try again next week. |

| If it went in at 6.30 then there would be no harm in leaving it in there until tomorrow morning. |

Do you think it's worth it though if she has made no attempt at it?
Well saying that she has.
She has stretched her mouth a few times, not near it, but first time I have seen her do it since the rat went in.
She has also laid on top of it, but just won't actually take it down. |

Aye, it's always worth it.
You're gonna end up wasting the mousey anyway, so you may as well give the snake the longest time to eat it that you can before binning the food.
I've had to leave food items in for long periods in the past, quite often in the dead of the night when the house is silent that's when snakie will decide to eat. |

| Ahh thanks for the tip, I have just checked the rat for any signs of "rotting" and doesn't appear to be any, so I will probably leave it in over night, I am up fairly early anyway to go get a RUB for this new Royal. |

So long as it's not in there on a warm spot for anything more than 24 hours then it should be ok.
On a warm patch (heat mat etc) then 12 hours max IMO. |

Always been on rats.
At the time of buying her I didn't have any car insurance, so I asked the previous owner to bring 1 of whatever she has been eating, and he brought a weaner rat. |
