Re: Is there any truth to this?
Next time you talk to the mouse guy, as you're leaving and after you've paid, tell him you've coated all your paper money with a powder that will cause his testicles to shrink to the size of peas.
Then leave.

So today my wife went to pick up a couple mice from pet smart and one of the people assisting her said that they inject the mice so if you feed them to a snake it will kill the snake? I personally think the guy was full of it and couldn't find and info to prove or disprove it.
Go back to that store and ask to talk to the store manager. Report that person, STAT.
I work at a PetSMART and while it is true, we are not allowed to sell live mice if we suspect they might be used as feeders, it is a blatant lie that we inject the mice with ANYTHING. That associate needs to be reported, that's totally unacceptable behaviour and should not be tolerated.
On that note...because I'm one of the resident "snake people" at the store I work at, I have been told they won't sell me live rodents EVER, just because I have snakes. I pointed out that I feed f/t, never live, and that I have considered a Gerbil as a companion animal...and was told they'd deny the sale due to the snakes. It's absurd but the reality is they can and DO refuse sales to people whom they suspect will feed live.
My advice is to find a local breeder/supplier or go to the nearest reptile expo. :) Best of luck!!!

This is Maverick67's wife. I made sure to tell the guy I was looking for pet mice and since it was me and my friend, I don't think he suspected us as snake people. I didn't think that what he said was true at all, but I didn't want to risk it. Thank you everyone for all the great advice you've been giving us. :)

You could always just buy a male and a female rat and breed them yourself. :)
Re: Is there any truth to this?
Pssssh.......yeah, they inject them with something to make them kill snakes. I guess that's why my Petsmart manager said to me "hey - we got a male mouse in with our females by accident - do you want him? No charge." She knows I breed ball pythons and she also knew what would become of the male mouse.
My snake that got the mouse is still alive! :P
