No one cares that you feed frozen, but quit trying to act like you're some sort of morally superior person because of it. Not a single thing you feed your snake was not alive at one point, yet you act like you're somehow so much better than anyone else.
It's not about being superior at all tbh. It's probably a culture thing ... Over here in the UK it's just not accepted by I think around 500,000 snake keepers .... I appreciate that over in the states it's regarded as common place but that doesn't make it right or indeed acceptable ..

500,000 hu? Wow.......well as you said, just because its common place doesn't make it right.....Or me wrong we are just different. Its probably a cultural thing.:salute:

Yea. Not trying to sound superior at all, except all you people are doing something wrong and unacceptable. Do you even listen to yourself?
It's perfectly right and it's perfectly acceptable.

In the wild the mice / rats have a chance to escape and also there's no risk to the snake as the prey is NOT cornered , fighting for their dear lives .......

What sort of chance to escape did the food you use have when it was killed by the people who kill your snake's food for you?

So, I'm just curious what sort of experience you are speaking from regarding the actual, real life dangers of this practice, and not the whipped up, false hysteria that's posted on various sites by people who have never even done it?
