Feeding a captive snake wild mice?

[KMG]

In the southeast we eat all kinds of wild animals that we cook thoroughly and no one ever gets sick from it. Perhaps if you really wanted to be sure you could boil cook the mice and then let them cool to serve to your snake as it would kill any parasites or bacteria living in them. You would probably have to make sure to use a thermometer to check the boiled mouses internals after though to make sure you weren't going to burn your snake. I think that underneath all these cliche responses is a reoccurring theme that eating anything from the wild is toxic and risky. I think people are too spoiled these days in thinking that everything is clean and sanitary coming from factories where things are made artificially while not realizing the FDA and other regulations allow for things like bug parts per million to be allowed into our food.

Would I feed wild mice to my snake? Perhaps I will experiment feeding wild mice to my regular regius and see how it goes. That is what actually lead me to this forum. I think I would try it since all I ever see is the same pretentious response that everyone gives without any supporting information.

Why would you want to risk contaminating your snake collection? That is just irresponsible. The reason you don't see people testing this is because they care about their collection and don't mind feeding them the best rodents they can. We also understand a wild rodent could potentially pass something to our collection and it is not worth it.

You showed your knowledge on this subject by suggesting to feed cooked rodents and comparing eating cooked food to raw.
