first live mouse

[daniel1983]

i just wanna ask was the food item bigger then the largest part of the snakes body?and live feeding can be safe if you knock out the mouse a lil but it isnt all that safe. i have seen soem crazy pictures of snakes beign killed or chunks biten out of them from live feeding when it coems to my snake nothing is alive after they go to regular white mice i leave hopper mice alive but after that nope i feel it is just safer to kill them.but if any body takes the risk hey its there snake i feel the herp owner buys its snakes food so let them feed the snake what they want but it always lingers that it isnt as safe as pre killed or f/t

Show me the pic and tell me the TRUE story of what happened and I can tell you EXACTLY what the person's error was that got their snake injured. Feed properly and there will be no problems.

EDIT: oh ya....knocking out(that is horrible for the rodent BTW)....when any animal is 'knocked out', it eventually wakes up. So you leave an unsupervised animal in with the snake that you think poses no threat, it wakes up really P.O.ed because it got knocked in the head and takes a chunk out of the snake.....that is was is called IMPROPER feeding.
