My Ball Pythons are disgustingly healthy

It's part of the game though. Sometimes you can't always feed frozen, and prekilled is better than live, right? There'll be times when you gotta do some stuff that isn't fun, but its for the safety of your snake.

when i can't get frozen i ask the people at the shop where i get them to kill the rats for me and i take them home and pop them in the freezer. easy as pie.

I have 5 pet rats, but I can do it. I have no problem killing things if they are for food. Or if they are mean... stupid hamsters... Just put it in a pillow case, whack it hard(not too hard) against something hard and then comment "Oops, how'd that happen. Oh darnit, it died.." LoL, easy as pie, or mice, rather.

See, the thing is, I somehow have no problem with things dying in front of me, I guess that's why I got into the profession I did. Next semester, during Food Animal Management, we have to go to 2 slaughterhouses and watch it happen. I don't have a problem with this because, like alot of people, I like steak/hamburgers/what have you, and have no problem with where it comes from. So if I can watch that, then killing a measly little mousie isn't going to bring tears to my eyes. Sorry to be so graphic, but it's life.We kill things to eat them, and other things kill things to eat them too. Sorry vegetarians...
