Ohmigosh I just melted a little. I agree that it SUCKS to feed them, but such is the circle of life. I have two pet rats and adore them. I feed f/t whenever possible, and currently only have two snakes eating live mice.
I know the feeling. Last week I had a feeder that was a tan dumbo rex crawler. I considered keeping it and after the huge debate I had w/ myself, I finally gave it to the snake....
It was like "It's so cute!!"..."But its food!!"..." I should keep it!!"..."But the snake has to eat!!"...."CUTE!"...."FOOD!!!"............... x___X
