Albino lovers... Don't look!

[Raptor]

I don't have an issue with the picture in the least bit. Then again, I understand that snakes are predators and something must die for them to survive. I don't live in the fantasy land that frozen food magically appear out of thin air.

I raise meat goats. When one of the breeders die, I do an at home autopsy, skin it, remove the head (I practice taxidermy as a hobby), and feed it to the guardian dogs. It doesn't matter if it's a breeder I've had for years, one I've raised from being a newborn, or how attached I was to that particular animal. It boils down to the fact that it isn't cheap to feed two 150 pound dogs that roam 2+ miles each day.

I'd probably do the exact same thing that the owner of the cobra did. Certainly. It'd be preferable for the snake eater to eat mice, but as we all know, animals don't always do what we want.

Frankly, I find parts of this thread hypocritical. We feed mice, rats, rabbits, and in some cases poultry, pigs, and other livestock to our reptiles. All of which can be pets. When someone who owns these prey animals gets offended, we say "well, our snakes have to eat, too". Yet someone posts a picture of a snake that naturally eats other snakes and people get their panties in a twist. Makes me laugh.
