Sure, watching a snake eat is interesting. It's fascinating, too. However, it isn't in the LEAST entertaining, as I said in my first post (5 pages ago), to anyone but the most deprived/demented/backward people. I enjoy watching my snakes eat their
DEAD prey, especially when the snake in question had previously only fed live, because I take joy from the fact that my snakes are healthy and that they WILL eat. However, I flinch, plug my ears, and shut my eyes tight whenever I have to feed a stubborn hatchling a live pinky. IME, this is a normal reaction for caring snake-keepers. This is a normal reaction for caring people in general... One of the only times I've had to feed live prey, I had two (non-snake-keeping) friends over, who both reacted the same way I did to the pinky's horrifying squeals.
Even my brother (an extremely mentally/emotional handicapped BiPolar teenager who gets a kick out of the pain, suffering, and general instigation of the family at large--the dogs especially--and, yes, he's been in an outpatient of mental hospitals since he was 3 and an inpatient several times) is horrified by the idea of live-feeding. This has to say something about those (especially those informed) people who ENJOY watching a captive snake kill a live mouse/rat.
I'd also like to add that various previous comments were VERY correct. Most f/t-feeding snakes don't know the difference. Out of 23 snakes (not counting my 6 newest acquisitions), I only have two who don't act as though their prey is alive. All the others strike, coil, and "kill" their prey. As for the other two... One insisted on being left alone with his pre-killed prey from his very first feeding, and the other stopped doing the strike/coil routine shortly after finding out she didn't have to fight for her food.

You know, just because someone posted doesn't mean they watched your precious video--and that's a rather selfish assumption. I certainly haven't. It's just so predictable, watching it is unnecessary. Which is good, because live-feeding "entertainment" videos make me gag.
