personally i think it's TRASH. the only reason that is posted is for that owner to feel bada$$. same as ppl posting a 15ft+ burm vs. a rabbit. feeding live and taping it is just for show. a real person of the trade whether snakes, or fish in this situation, feed the animal and move on. there is no need to prove that "YOUR THE MAN" by throwing a rat into a tank and filming...say that rat got out and bit the hell outta that owner...he'd be alil upset.
