You should go check out the feeder forum! A lot of us raise our own food for our snakes, but our breeders are treated as our pets. Lots of cute rat and mice pictures!

I think the common theme here is that we are all animal lovers - but also recognize the role of predator vs. prey. Seems odd to some that you can love reptiles, but also love your breeders as well!

For myself and a few others, the breeder moms and dads have "earned" their retirement with us (and our respect) as well and won't be fed off themselves.
