I personally don't mind snakes being used as feeders. Most are f/t anyway. Its no different from us feeding off rats. And some species of snakes, like King Cobras, have to eat other snakes to thrive. Though I do acknowledge that Burms aren't snake eaters.

However, this picture, whether real or fake, was clearly done out of spite. I don't know how many of you are outside the ball community, but not very many people who keep other species like ball pythons. And whenever I do see a feeder ball picture, tons of people seem to be 'happy' and say dumb stuff like 'finally a purpose for a useless ball'.
No respect what so ever. I appreciate and respect my feeder rats for keeping my snakes healthy and alive. I think feeder snakes should be given the same respect.

i got into ball pythons for several reasons:

they're docile
don't get too big
damn near infinite variety of colors & patterns




also, a lot of other snake species faces do not look nearly as aesthetically pleasing to me



while other ppl may prefer a different species of snake (or reptile), i don't see how anyone could hate BPs

Woah attack of the zombie thread. O.o

Staged, shopped, or not, someone has some serious issues if they think this is a "funny" thing to do to a snake.

The ball python even has the worst face expression! :(
