Hamsters used as food?

I dunno - just me here - but I'd tend to take Adam's advice on the hamster feeding. He seems to know a little bit about ball pythons! ;)

My snakes are not in any way in harm. I do not at all leave the side of the tank, the hamster is KO before I give it to the snake. The hamsters die befor they get a chance to come too. I take care of any food left in the cheeks. What more can I do? My poor snakes have ben bitten up by more mice and rats then anything else. I would feed F/T but my male wont touch them. My husbant will not let mice and rats in the house right now. Untill I can fully convence him, I have to use what i have avalible.

I would like to have this thread closed.
I'm sorry I even brought this up

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info, I think I'll stick to rodents after I feed off these babies. :)

Here in LA,Ca Hammsters are way to expensive to even consider to feed them to a BP the msot expesnive mice here are 2$ the cheapest around here is 50cents so i prefer feeding my bp mice for now till he is big enuff to take rats.
