Is live feeding really that bad?

[Nixon]

I don't see anything wrong with what the moderators are doing. They're just acting how they would act anytime else. If someone claimed something to be right or wrong with no pure evidence off experience (at least in this case you need it), then it's not surprising that people will go against that. Just because they're mods doesn't mean they have to make everyone happy. They're people too with their opinions. Moderators and admins don't need to be a role model all the time. Yes, they need to enforce rules and such but as long as they're following the rules themselves, they can post their arguments and opinions.

This isn't representing anything bad about the community. To be honest what Zincubus is saying is getting exhausting. I thought he/she said they were done posting about the topic but yet they keep coming back.

I think that this forum has had enough answers on three different subjects. It may be a good time to let it fall into the abyss with the other already answered forums. This is my last post and I hope it is everyone else's as well before people start feeling unwelcome to this site all together.

ice cream. cone or cup? discuss.

Situational for me, but usually:
Banana Split > Waffle Cone > Sugar Cone > Milkshake (sometimes Malt) > Kiddie Cone > Bowl

My husband doesn't care much for anything but french vanilla, which he usually takes plain, packed into a red solo cup, because class.

Waffle cone. No ice cream in it. (That's how vegans eat ice cream lol )

Why has this thread not died yet? After the first three pages it's basically just been the same people repeating the exact same things and occasionally calling shenanigans on mods or other members. It's not like it's going anywhere, and no one's saying anything new...

Waffle cup - best of both, with Italian ice or sorbet, please (lactose intolerance).

I haven't read this whole thread.. but I wanted to give my 2 cents.

I prefer feeding f/t.

Here's why:
- I don't like watching animals get killed.
- I currently feed live and f/t, because some of my snakes prefer live. I don't like babysitting snakes either, so I prefer having the snake grab a f/t, and then I'm on my way. With f/t, I throw 'em in a container and pop that into my incubator for the day.. When I get home, I feed them off. Simple - 20 minute task. Opposed to throwing a live rat in, making sure it doesn't hurt my snake, and sitting there in case the snake has a terrible grab.
- I don't breed rats, so I have to buy live rats from the reptile shops which are expensive, or from friends who live far away - both options don't always have the size I'm looking for.
- The rats will also bite whatever is in reach, which is often some place on my snake's body, resulting in dented scales, or even scales being chewed off. If the rat's mouth is in my snake's mouth, they can also get some bites inside the mouth, which is horrible!

Nice work - great post .
Very reasonable and balanced view on the matter .

Better get your protective gear on though

[frostysBP]

It was a light- hearted comment .... there was always the chance that someone would be outraged ....
