    First time feeding live

    So I fed my kingsnake a live mouse fuzzy on Sunday. It was very interesting to watch him stalk and Strike his mouse. I have to say it was cool seeing my snake feed like he was in the wild. Anybody have a similar feeling? Here's a pic of my little guy all wrapped around his mouse

    Re: First time feeding live

    Honestly, not at all. I feed live because it works out better for me and my snakes but at the end of the day, something looses a life to keep my snakes healthy.

    Only like I've fed were fuzzy rats to my snakes. Anything bigger and I pre kill them to avoid any chance of problems between them.

    You get used to it after a while, but it can be really interesting watching them hunt and eat if you haven't seen it happen much.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    Thats pure, primal, unadulterated power right there. Nature at its finest. Definitely sucks to be a rodent.
