Feeding

I get this attitude from people who love eating their chicken, beef, pork, fish, shrimp, turkey, deer, lamb, goat, ferrets, squirrells, squid, horse, pigeons, rabbits, worms, roaches, spiders, goblins, gouls, ghosts and hobgoblins! I just don't listen when people start saying stuff like that, cause I know that nature is not wrong in its ways.

They usually stop when I ask them how tall and wide they are, and what kind of substrate do they sleep on. :lol:

I'm going to start marketting soy rodents for "enlightened" reptiles.

Personally i like when my snake eats and i could care less how it happens. But look at it this way those mice were raised for the sole purpose of being fed to a snake hence the name feeder mice they would not exist if it weren't for your snake. And unlike most people they have a clear purpose in life. And mice don't really know enough to care unlike the cow we shove down are throat and the dolphin that taste so good it is the circle of life but when other people see a snake at the end it becomes bad.

this may seem strange but i actually have a pet snake that ive had for a while and should die soon because of old age. ive had it much longer than my snake and i just cant bringmyself to kill the mouse i used to breed mice before i got my snake and this was the only mouse that never bit me so i just have a soft spot for it

LOL! :lol:

I've really enjoyed reading this thread, a lot of good points made.

I just think it's nature. Snakes eat rodents. And I have no particular love for rodents of any kind, in fact I can't stand them, so I have no problems feeding a dead one to my snake. I grew up with rats, mice, skunks, oppossums, raccoons, squirrels, etc all around my yard and garage, and I grew to hate them. But not all people feel that way, and I can understand how some people would have a problem with the idea.

Its hard when you love all creatures. Especially when you have to feed one to another. But that is the way life is. Accept it and move on :|

perhaps someday there will be human eating snakes, and they'll lab-breed humans and sell em for snake food.

"tried offering my snake his first f/t human today, no luck :(."

Well.....I do like the little rodents, have several as pet's right now....But It still does not bother me to feed my snake a rodent....As stated earlier....It's the circle of life.....

Rodents just happen to be on the snakes food chain....
