Hi everyone,
We are really enjoying this site, and find your comments extremely helpful.
We wanted a snake for a long time. However, the feeding issue kept us from making the leap. Well finally we took a deep breath and decided to go and get a snake. Two weeks ago we added our first snake to our family (6 month Sunglow).So far, we have fed our snake twice ( A live fuzzy each time).
At this time, feeding our snake has not been a problem. We put the fuzzy in a shoe box. Then we put the snake in the shoe box -- we close the lid, come back in 20 minutes. No Fuzzy, no mess, no problem.
Here's the question. Can we continue this approach? I have seen references to feeding "fresh kill" or thawing out frozen prey.
Killing a mouse or keeping one in our freezer and then thawing it out -- is something we would like to avoid.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
