That's kind of cruel to take pictures of the RTB eating a BP, that made me want to step on the RTB and beat it up. Those scars are really painful to look at, they're so deep. :eek:

I'm surprised nobody triggered on this apalling statement.

One snake eating another is not cruel.
Taking cautionary pictures to educate others is not cruel.
Abusing animals, actively or through neglect, is unquestionably cruel.

I definitely agree with your post.

How else will you ever educate people.

especially when you have so many people out there that only believe it if they see it for themselves.

People didn't address it because I was sure they were sensing my sarcasm and biased attitude towards Ball Pythons.

Go figure, who says "beat it up". I assumed you would catch on the childish language, thanks for the negative rep points lol.

I'm Roman Catholic, that's how we live our lives. There goes the saying, "I'll take your word for it."

Not that I disagree with you in terms of educating people, but there are many of those who don't have to witness that and knwo not to put two different snake species together long enough to see one get eaten.

what???




and for the record...I didn't neg rep you.

If I did I would have the balls to sign it.

[slartibartfast]

I left neg rep, and I signed it. Sorry, there was nothing in that post to indicate you were joking; you were advocating crushing a snake to death...that really rubs me the wrong way ya know?

Ouch, poor snake. It looks like it was chewed on by several starving/dehydrated rats, to me. Damn morons owning snakes and letting things like this happen.. it is a crying shame.
I feed 100% live. Never had a problem with a rat biting a snake; I dangle with tongs so that the snake is in the proper position and the rat's neck/side are presented to the snake. Snake grabs, coils.. head of rodent is left sticking out of the coils, not biting the snake. How hard is this? If people dangle a rat with its mouth gaping at the snake, how can they be shocked when the snake is bitten!?

Personally Jen I don't advocate restraining a live prey item in any way during the feeding process. I believe if you feed the right size rat, that is itself well fed, full hydrated and unstressed to a snake quite capable of hunting live, there should not be a problem. Restraining a living prey item will make it freaky and likely cause it to be more aggressive IMHO.

You mean chew right? Rats only eat food, everything else gets chewed.

For what it's worth ...

Rabbits, goats, beavers, squirrels, and even puppies are five animals off the top of my head the chew as much (if not more than) rats ... just sayin.

When you dont have anything else to say...
