Sorry to have started a flaming contest!
As an update.... and in hopes that I don't start another "debate"
When I came home today Thor came out of his hide around the same time. I thought I'd get him out for a bit and I was going to get him a mouse today when I went to Charleston (nearest place to buy live or frozen). Well, put my hand in and "tag"... while he hit my finger he didn't bite it but I felt his teeth. Strange thing is that I didn't even flinch really...and I'm not sure why...perhaps it happened before I could even react? Anyway I thought... you are so flippin hungry maybe you'll eat one of the f/t's I had left from his previous attempts. I had some "medium" mice in the freezer.... thawed it and he struck it like it was live and ate it with little fuss. Next feed time I'll attempt f/t again but I'm not holding my breath that he'll continue eating them. I hate that I got tagged because he has never/ever shown aggression while out but I guess it could have been prevented if I had paid more attention to the size of his last feed... Oh well.. back to the OP, live and learn.
