Re: Feeding my BP sparrows
I don't have the experience to speak for the pros or cons of whether or not it would present any issues for your daughters snake, I would think as mensioned above as long as a good long deep freeze is in order before feeding I don't see how it would be much different than a bp finding a wounded bird in the wild. I do understand your reasoning with trapping the sparrows .... As a fellow hunter/trapper I see no problem with it but ofcourse with others not from a outdoorsman type background many don't see both sides. In my opinion the sparrows are not going to waste so it is a win win situation. A lil bit of elbow grease on your behalf is going to A.) Save you a lil money on feeders for a bit and B.) At the same time help the wildlife management in your area. :gj:

$$$$$ ...... Minimum shipping costs for feeders is $29 and that's the lowest I've personally seen ... And to feed only one snake and order one 15 pack of rats and you are paying more for shipping than the feeders themselves .... Unless you are feeding multiple snakes, online feeders can be a real kick in the wallet. However for those who have several snakes it pays to order online

When I was buying online I would order enough feeders for six months. This made the shipping much more reasonable. I have a chest freezer for my feeders.

I do agree ... I order online and save A LOT of money on feeders this way as I have 11 snakes in my collection, I order 400 to 600 feeders at a time and yes save a small fortune in doing so . Guess it's really just a matter of situation .... Before I had my own small chest freezer for the feeders however I had a bit of a battle with the room mate over having frozen rodents in the same freezer as our food. So depending on wife, husband, room mate, etc. I can see where a debate may arise LOL and having to buy another freezer just for the feeders is going to add more to expenses of the situation. As for me "Eh ... No big deal" I grew up a redneck, farming, country boy. It was nothing for me to wrestle the dog over the last piece of pizza he just stole and then eat it after I got the remaining half of it back from him. But then again I'm a special kinda crazy :D
