I don't get queasy but I do feel sorta bad for the little pinkies hanging out in the back of the freezer. Short lived guilt as I love my little ones! The husband (who never goes searching for food even if it's under his nose) went rumaging one day and I got a "what is this???" I calmly replied, "Oh, just some pinky mice for the snakes dear." I got a roll of the eyes and a shrug as he tossed them back to their little corner. Poor guy puts up with a lot for a guy who is not to fond of snakes!
