Funny thing I have just been in this situation, we had two breeder rats that I was in love with, they were cuddly and would lay there and watch TV with me. My GF ended up giving them to our friend with the 7ft BCI (without me knowing) and I was told after the fact, I was actually hurt by this. I waited until my girlfriend was out for the day and fed her two favorite mice to my adult BP and then told her after the fact. We are now even. Kinda wierd, it's was a quiet argument and noone even raised their voice. So now we have an agreement to talk to eachother if we are in question about feeding an animal to the snakes.
