Good point Marla - we had one get a little too warm (belly looked a lil dark even when frozen though not sure what happened there) and when Benny went for it the belly popped. He is SUCH a little girly-man, ja, he won't even take prey that has a little bit of blood on it - and if guts come into play it's just too icky-p00. Wuss. Now Vasuki on the other hand would likely eat it even if you ran it across a cheese grater (don't try that at home kids).
