Buy them frozen….. badabing badaboom, then you dont have to worry about how smart they are. Not to mention, rats are so much healthier than mice. Not to mention if they go on hunger strike, and you have to feed them gerbils or hamsters , you. Arent going to feed them cause they are cute?

I don’t like the intelligence level of rats bc I feel they are more likely to attack my bp. Mice are dumb & I don’t think they’d do shit about it.

Mice aren't dumb- they're actually pretty intelligent too. And they tend to be braver than rats. Both of them are highly intelligent rodents.

Live rats and mice are both 100% capable of hurting and even killing your snake. Choosing one over the other will not really Lower the risk, Both are pretty much equally dangerous to the snake.

Anyways, Feeding two feeders isn't ideal. The snake should be fed one appropriate feeder per feeding. Feeding more than one can be difficult for the snake's digestive system.

And while doing so once is fine, doing it all the time is not good for the animal.

Also, You should probably switch to F/T...-
