haha well... I just dont like feeding him the f/t's you get from the stores, I feel that since I feed him mice that I raise myself, I know they are actually fresh mice not something that might have come from some super mouse that was given drugs to produce babies faster and at a higher quantity... you know? (because that is how stuff works now a days)

Rest assured, I have never heard of anyone feeding their mice some super baby producing drug.. Would probably be a lot more than the actual babies are worth..
Pepper gets kudos for this line...

A snake and a mouse confined to a couple feet of space in which to play out their predator-prey instincts is no where near what would occur in the wild.

Thats the exact point... These are animals semi confined to smaller place and defiantly are not in the wild..
Of course this didn't help your arguement..

Death by constriction is a slow, painful, terrifying process for the mouse,

I don't quite know how long for a mouse, but a well executed constriction/choke hold, will likely put mousey into another realm mighty quick... Its much like the holds used to subdue unruley customers in the bar.. 12 to 15 secs of fame and then they are on the floor with no idea of where they are.. Terrfiying for a few seconds, but I doubt overly painful on a proper constriction..
Dude, theres no reason to feed your snake live if it was already accepting f/t.. Its not in a natural setting so it can't flee when it doesn't wanna fight...
