Is live feeding really that bad?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Nice , fairly balanced post which is reassuring ... the issue of the potential damage to their eyes is an obvious weakness though . I badly scratched eye or one pierced by teeth can and does happen .... no I've never witnessed it but as I said before even though I've never been there I know the Sun is damned HOT.

When you've got a terrified , creature with teeth and sharp claws that's cornered in a confined space and your precious snake is approaching ... the eyes are so vulnerable .. and yes there are an infinite number of evidential photos online .

Anyways all that was to enlighten anyone who was unsure of the potential risks to their snakes .

My main reason is that I LOVE every living thing . I've said before how when I'm out dog walking or jogging and I see a worm or a slug struggling across a pavement / sidewalk I pick them up and drop them in a safe place even though I abhor slug slime . I just couldn't imagine how people drop a cute little mouse or baby rat into its death . That's just how SOME of us are though . It doesn't make us better or worse than anyone else so there's no point someone now saying I'm being all self righteous as I'm not . It's just how I am . I realise that the frozen mice have been killed but thing is ... I DIDN'T KILL IT .. so that is how I'm able to live with the idea of feeding rodents to my snakes .

Last little point - as apparently only things I've witnessed myself are considered as legitimate ... a few weeks ago when I was buying a couple frozen XL rats for my beautiful , unscarred , Snow Boa the store assistant actually cut her hand on one of the rats claws - she was really upset and annoyed and she said something about disease and getting the wound infected ..

Seriously . I'm done here for a while . That's why I thought I'd offload a bit in this post .

.. I as I've said .. I never wanted to upset or anger anyone it's just me being me ( maybe a bit of being British as well - as live feeding is completely frowned upon over here - thankfully )

Regards

You describing live feeding as if you had a clue which you have not. FUNNY

There is no terrified creature with sharp claws and teeth, if you had a clue you would know that when done right which EXPERIENCE people do, the feeder will go in a corner, groom itself and fall asleep, so much for that, but hey you must know more than I do because I have only fed 20000+ live preys.

Again get a clue and go spread fear and lies elsewhere, I can recommend a few forum where people will go for everything you say, here not so much because people are more intelligent than you give them credit for.

BTW still time to make good on your empty promises because no matter what YOUR agenda is wrong and always will be.

Try to educate people for a change instead of trying to scare them with your ignorance.


And spare me on the I am British this has nothing to do with anything, frowned upon or not it's up to any individual to expend their own personal knowledge.
