Sorry, but is this a room floor? Or a kitchen? Am just asking oh because one day you will return and find a dead half eaten anthelope in you room killed by a lion! Because a cat entered your room, and killed a rat, and came back again to collect his kill, and still you could not find spot the cat came in from, your room is more porious than the Nigeria border, I've never seen a rat in my entire house before, NIGERIANS ARE TOO QUICK TO ALWAYS SEE EVERYTHING AS SPIRITUAL ATTACK, na God go really help una

That is real mauling. Cat most probbly as they can slip through crannies under doors as far as the head can access especially if it is small in size.

Then i think it's snakes
You need to be very careful man.
Snakes can live with humans in their house for months without you knowing.

Buy snake repellents and spray garlic and onions in your room. It will flush them out real quick.
That's not snake bite...I suspect cat.
Let me give u another angle to think about. When u ransacked the house did u see another rat? I guess the answer is no. But there are rats in ur house no doubt. The fact that they can hide from you might indicate that another animal of similar size to them can also successfully hide from you.
How I am sure its not a snake though is that those Mark's arent snakes. Snake do not eat or chew, they bite and swallow. If it were a snake mark, it wont be more than few tiny Marks.

I know this isn't the right section. But I don't know the right one and so I opted to post here since it seems to have a lot of traffic.

Yesterday, I returned to my room to find a rat dead in the middle of it. Ordinarily, I wouldn't be bothered. But this rat has clearly been bitten (pictures will be displayed below). I called a neighbour and we examined it. We were arguing if a snake could have done it, and if yes, why it didn't swallow it. In any case, we decided to leave it where it was to see if whatever killed it would return for it. I went to sleep at a friend's.

We returned this morning to find the dead rat gone. So, I called others to join me and we ransacked every nook and cranny of the room. We couldn't find anything threatening. But we did find another rat killed in much the same manner as the first (second picture).

It irks that I can't find what did this. I can't sleep in the room as it is. So please, experts in the house, help me to identify what it could be and what can be done.

Mods please help move to front page.

nurture the habit to give a dog a treat at the right time a treat is like a pay check u work for it and then u wait for it.

Don't be afraid, it's nothing serious. That has happened in my house. It is caused by another rat ripping off or feeding on a dead rat. Rats eat themselves when any of them dies.

Get a a fresh rat. Bite the rat, then drop the rat in the middle of your room. Get a CCTV camera installed in your room, then wait to see the animal that will come and collect the rat from your room when you're gone. It's that time we will know whether it's a cat, a rat or just your hungry neighbor that eats rats.

Exactly. With a CCTV, most of the things we label 'mysterious' or 'spiritual attacks' in Nigeria would just be unraveled to be a very simple, ordinary stuff.
This is one of the reasons i don't believe in those spiritual attack/juju nonsense.
The average African/Nigerian usually ascribes whatever he can't/doesn't have the technology to unravel to spiritism/mystery/juju.

As i'm typing now, CCTV just de above my head. "Mystery'' no fit just happen here.

This is strange and scary. You may want to install a monitoring camera so you can see what it is and be sure to leave your light on so you can see it clearly. There are some cheap cameras on jumia you can easily buy and install yourself. Getting to know what's responsible for this is the first step in solving it
