I happen to have run of bloody mice in my place at the moment and have caught several in mouse traps, would these be safe to feed to my snakes?

I have been feeding wild caught mice for years with no problems although not live, wild mice do carry ticks fleas lice and worms but none of these can live on or in your snake as the type of parasites that live on mice cannot live on snakes, your only problems would be if anyone is using poisons in your area on even more important, if the mice have been caught in a house that uses glassfiber insulation "This WILL kill your snake".
If you live in the middle of nowhere and can be sure that the mice have not been in contact with poison or insulation or know of someone who owns an organic farm the mice should be OK.
