It's really about sensitivity and discretion. In reptile specific forums or groups, it might be OK, but I personally don't see a need for it to happen as often as I see it. Outside of those places, absolutely not. Many consider our pet's prey items to be good pets in their own right, or they simply have an irrational fear, which is still quite real for them. Which is where the sensitivity come in, think how a non herper might feel. The discretion is that our hobby simply doesn't need to fuel it's own destruction by providing it's own bad press. Yes, it sucks big that we are on the line like this, but it is the reality we have to deal with.
