    If you feel bad feeding your snake...you shouldn't own it. Give the snake to someone who will feed it and go buy a goldfish.

    I don't see any problem as long as the snake owner is willing to feed live. They don't have to be comfortable with it, but as long as they are willing to there's no issue. I really like pigs; I feel bad when they die, but it doesn't keep me from eating bacon for breakfast.

    Sorry, couldn't help but quote this. I raised pigs (don't know if everyone else has or if you have) and even though they are cute as little piglets, they get ugly the fatter they get. ^^ But they are incredible smart, and have tried more then one time to flip my father on to his back as he cleaned out their water dish. Along with knowing to avoid the steel crate. Until it came to the last one, when she willingly went in, and then looked for the others when she got to the farm where they all humanly euthanized. Okay, sorry again.


    Anyways, I fed the girl today. And even though the mouse was just adorable, it's the way of life. I don't mean to sound crude, but whats the difference between feeding the snake mice in captivity, or the wild ones catching their own food? -shrugs- Though I would never be able to kill the mouse myself, I wouldn't be able to stomach that. And I didn't even watched her eat, just strike it.

    I've been forced to feed f/t ever since I moved back to Alabama. I prefer feeding live but I can't find any were to buy them

    Is there an emoticon with a little smily stirring a big pot?
