Weird BP Dream

The quality of a death has value. Perhaps a CO2 device or learning how to whack them and kill them instantly would relieve your feelings of anxiety.

The mouse will die, that's a given. How it dies is up to you.

I used to have pet mice, than they became feeders to my snakes. I rather my snake kill them than me, but that is just personally me. I have a problem my self causing any pain or harm to a living thing, even feeders.

lol wow, so you fed your pets off? I am not sure I could do that lol.

oh noes! the mice are trying to brainwash you!!!

Hell yeah they are. You must go to sleep feeling guilty. Someone better rescue this ball before it needs help.

It could be your pocket trying to get you to but F/T

[toreh]

Aww man, that makes me feel guilty for feeding live! But I mean I cant feed F/T she just ignores it and treats it like her half log thats in her cage. So the only thing I can do is feed live.

Very insightful dream...I feed p/k, so I do the actual killing before I feed the rodents to my snakes. It's really tough for me sometimes, but having as many snakes as I do, it is a regular chore and I've become used to it. But I'm not indifferent to an animal's loss of life, and I always give them respect. I'm a vegetarian to, lol, except when it comes to sea food, I can't resist. But I'm the kind of person who believes if you can't watch an animal get slaughtered you have no business eating it. But with the rats and mice, I have a weird fear that they'll come back to haunt me. But I've never had any dreams about it.

I assure you I don't feel guilty enough to neglect care for my snake It is the nature of keeping one.

As for going to sleep feeling guilty, I don't think I am. I didn't yesterday, not until I had that dream lol. Who knows. It isn't going to stop me from feeding her on Monday. It's just the nature of the beast.

I am sure for every snake owner, there is a rodent owner. And for every mouse that is eaten by a snake, a snake is eaten by something else. And so continues, the circle of life.

If it makes you feel any better, I had a really weird dream. We just picked up a BP this past Sunday. We got her all set up in her new home, checked her out for a bit then left her alone. During the time we were checking her out, my fiance brought the cat-Gus in the room and held him while he watched the snake too. Side note: the room the snake is in always has it's door closed unless we're in there, the cats (there are two-Gus and Charlie) will never have the opportunity to hurt her-the snake.

Well that night I had a dream that we were feeding her kittens AND THEY LOOKED LIKE GUS! I was crying my eyes out. They were small-like a medium rat or so...but I kept saying-they're kittens...we can't feed her kittens...and I don't remember if the other person in my dream (never saw them) said anything or if I just knew what they wanted to say....Jake has to eat. This is what snakes eat...

It was WEIRD and when I woke up I felt...gross. I checked on Gus & Charlie...and Jake. Everyone was okay and nobody was eating any body else.
