today i discovered one of my breeding adult mice which i believe to be young dying he took his last few breaths in my hands.  Anyway just wondering if he will be able to be fed to my snake without causing my snake any harm.as death was unknown. |

youre absolutely positive it didnt eat something that may have poisoned it?

Just get rid of it, its not worth the risk.

But to be safe do NOT feed it to your snake - I think asis said it - it's just not worth it.
Maybe clean the mouse cage thoroughly, disenfect, and ten refill with happy and bountiful mice to feed to your pet snakes.
Good luck. |

But if in doubt, chuck it out.
Its not worth the cost of a mouse over a snake.
