Figured I'd take a break from cleaning the apartment to give my input

I love all animals. Cute or ugly I care about em. When I first got snakes, I felt kind of bad for the prey, in a "it sucks to watch the life leave an animals eyes, but it's life, and it's what's gotta happen." This was when I fed live. It's one of the million and a half reasons I got a snake in the first place, was it would help me deal with death. If I couldn't stand watching an animal die, I couldn't stand my intended career where I will witness people dying. It didn't take long for me to get over it. I know it's the circle of life. It probably was just the first couple times that I fed that that I felt kind of bad, and I'm not talking the "I shouldn't be doing this" kind of bad, just "that has to really suck.."

Like I said, I'm fine with it now, feeding f/t obviously, for almost two years now. Their food is regarded as such; food. I definitely find more pleasure in watching my snakes eat on F/T than live, since it is more about the technique and strength of the strike vs watching a living animals brains squished out through its nose. Makes me smirk when Lelu strikes and I hear a big crunch. She's muscular as heck, and doin what she does best. My baby is growin up so fast... *tear*
