Allright....I admit it ...I am a monster....I have sinned. I even used to feed live mice to my tarantulas...now THAT is a sight to be seen..a big spider taking down an adult mouse. I guess I am somewhat of a throwback to my invertebrate days because spiders and centipedes will only take live prey. It is always a gruesome sight but highly entertaining. As far as whether this is appropriate or not I always remind myself that nature in the raw is a nasty thing. Out in the wild animals do not eat in cute ways...look at lions for instance when the pull down a zebra - there aint nothing nice about it...they rip its throat out and start eating it while it is still alive and kicking...
