Am I a bad person!

Live feeding must be done responsibly. Sadly too many people do not engage in this, and then all live feeders get a bad rap for it.

I feed close to 20 snakes live every week and have never had a mishap. Not to say it will never happen, but like any other aspect of animal keeping, people need to be attentive and engaged in what they are doing.

I can see where you are coming from, and I'm going to have to feed my troublesome ball live food.

The problem is, I don't feel like I can do it responsibly because I can't WATCH. I have to leave the room quiet and come back and check to see if its gone.
I don't like doing that, it worries me that something could go wrong.

My corn snake wraps around her pray hardly tight enough to kill it, which is why I would never feed her live. She also doesn't put much effort into striking at it.
