Haha, one of my friends just pretends that Kasi and I don't feed our snakes mice. I think she actually watched one time, but she just doesn't like to think about it. She also has random moments where she just really, really doesn't like the snakes, so we just don't take them out around here much hehe As for the pet stores, the worst I've run into was that there were a few with a little bit of color on them (they have a large cage of usually just the white, pink eyed feeders) and the woman told me straight out that she wouldn't sell me any of the colored ones. hehe I wasn't going to ask for on b/c they are kinda cute, but it was funny...
