I actually have some questions, though!

Are you using lead shot and if so, what long term effects do you think that will have on your snakes?

After shooting, do you have enough of the mice left over to feed a complete meal or are you rebuilding the feeders, from body parts of multiple mice and hoping you have enough?

Are you sure all of the shot is passing completely through the animal?

Is your back stop adequate?

How often do you have to replace the box?

Are you sure you are going to have an ample supply of shot gun rounds to sufficiently euthanize all your rodents, long term? (National Ammunition Shortage because of fears that the Obama Administration is going to take our guns away!)

Thanks for your time,

Wayne

More questions that I have to ask!

Are you properly licensed to shoot the species of animal you are "??Hunting??"

Oh and is there a bag limit?

I actually wasn't aware of a "Speedy Gonzalez" hunting season!

That sounds like lead shot you are using, and high lead titers in the blood of reptiles has been shown to reduce fecundity. This is irresponsible, wade. You should only be using steel, bismuth, Hevi-Shot, or other nontoxic shot to euthanize mice that might get utilized later as snake food.

Actually you all have assumed that this method was to procure snake sustenance. That is something I have not stated. At this point my goal was only to get the mouse dead.

So to help stave off any problems I will add an addendum. If the remains of the mouse are to be consumed by any living animal I would recommend that you use frozen filtered water pellets in lieu of any other projectile. Further, I would recommend that the plastic wad be replaced by recycled paper wads.

Always wear Hearing and Eye protection when firing any type of firearm.
