Just a note on dog evolution:

I am an animal behavior major taking a course on the behavior and evolution of dogs, and the most prevalent theory in the literature is that dogs evolved naturally from wolves based on flight distance, which in turn led to a number of other changes. They were dump dwellers, and got more nutrition from the dump than other wild animals because of the decreased flight distance. They were then taken in and selectively bred. They are genetically predisposed to short flight distances and easy inter species socialization. (Coppinger and Coppinger 2001) The studies with the bayelev foxes shows that simply selecting for flight distance causes a number of changes in appearance, including patchy coats, curled tails and floppy ears, all of which are characteristics of domestic dogs and not wolves.

Sorry, I just get excited when I know things.:crazy01:

I saw this in a show on the Discover, Science, or Nat-Geo channel. The foxes thing, too.
 
Well I started out reading this thread, and came up with a question which i saw asked. I kept reading and never saw an answer before this thread started falling apart. lol So I have started my own mouse colony and am wondering if it is safe to feed freshly killed mice or should they be frozen first?

Very safe and it depends on what your snake likes. Congrats on raising your own mice!

it is safe but freezing them first would kill any parasites they may have
