I think everyone needs to back off a little... you guys are really just letting this get out of hand. I don't think Starla is saying half the things you guys are thinking she/he is. Simply put she was curious on the subject and asked for some input... that does NOT constitute being ripped to shreds.
Snakes being vegan? Seems completely silly. But it would be nice if nothing ever had to die to feed anyone/thing. In truth that is a fantasy that will never happen.
However, just because an animal must die to serve as food for someone/thing doesn't mean it needs to die painfully or be mistreated during what lifespan it is allowed. Plain and simple. The OP just wants to insure that any mouse fed to her/his snake was not mistreated. What is so terrible about that? Answer the question, discuss the issue, but don't attack people... the crap slinging really is not necessary.
Good day.
