I got a new ball about 2 weeks ago who seems to be very under weight for his size he is about 1 1/2-2 feet and slim (looks more like a cornsnake that a BP) anyway last week was his first feeding with me. To make a long story short I ended up with one dead mouse that another ball had constricted but didn't eat. So instead of me throwing the mouse away I tried feeding it to the new guy with a pair of thongs.He took the mouse but it had to be the worst strike in history.It was so bad that if the mouse was alive that he would have torn my BP to shreds.So instead of me feeding live today what I was going to do was switch him to F/T but the pet shop didn't have any today so i choose 2 mice and I was going to have them prekilled by the owner well she wasn't in today so what I choose to do was try it myself. Heres where I came up with the question am I bad person.What I did was right before I feed him was I took the mouse and placed the thongs around his neck and squeezed him to dead . I didn't see what the big deal was myself because its kinda the same thing the snake does .But my mom and lil brother where treating me lil I was Hitler Its not like I killed the mice for fun! I killed them myself because I though it was best for my snake! So my question is am I a bad person for this ?!
