I agree and that's exactly what I meant! This was 93 and 95 and there were only a couple f/t suppliers around and if I remember right they did not sell rabbits. Still, these two had been told that they should pre-kill the rabbits but scoffed at the thought that a rabbit could hurt a 15ft retic or a 18ft burm. They, also, got a kick out of watching their snakes take down and eat live prey.
