| Topic | My pet store gave me a feeder mouse that's alive |
| MabusIncarnate 07/28/20 8:46:43 PM #22: | Honestly the best habit you can have is feeding your snake frozen. If it gets a taste of a live mouse all of a sudden, it might not take frozen again. It's uncommon, but it can happen. TC has a Ball Python, they can get 5 feet, which means the snake will eventually eat rats. If he has an adult snake that will only eat live rats, there's a good chance the snake will get bitten, and in rare cases, a snake can coil and part of the rat can wiggle free a bit, enough to chew on the snake's head, gnaw out it's eye, or chew on it's neck. As common as it seems to just drop a live mouse or rat in and watch the snake feed, in the animal trade just about all responsible large snake owners feed frozen. On top of that, it's less cruel to the rodent than to be bitten and suffocated to death. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain. =~=; Vicious_Dios Original - https://tinyurl.com/y9fpdoll ...
