**GRAPHIC** Reminder to always monitor live feedings!!!

[Stewart_Reptiles]

This is a photo I came across. The owner offered a live rat and without witnessing the snake kill that rat, they went to sleep. Warning graphic but it's an important reminder https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...9a&oe=595822DB

I am sorry but there is more to it than not watching a snake while feeding, that what many people would like other to believe and this is why they are pushing the F/T agenda and you are falling right for it.

I have been breeding both snakes and rodents for a decade and I can assure you that responsible live feeding can be done safely and this is not responsible live feeding, not even a always monitor feeding warning.

Rodents don't just attack a snake and shred it to pieces exposing flesh and bones, that happens when a feeder is starved and dehydrated and then left hours or but more often days with a snake, of course no one will admit that, they would rather say "look this what happen when you feed live or don't monitor feeding"

When you feed live th majority of the time If not snatched before hitting the cage floor the feeder will go in a corner, groom itself and fall asleep and has not time to inflict such damage when left 10 to 15 min with a snake.

I wish people would think before posting pictures like that (thinking they help others by doing so) that type of picture always have a back story whether the owner admits it or not.

You don't educate people trying to scare them off with pictures that are not representative.
