quality cell phone pic (lol)

Sorry, but I got a bit upset at the line:

"I got a thing with killing animals now"

I didn't mean to offend anyone, it's just I have strong views on this.
Hope I havent made too many enemies.
 
let me just add this

I will add this and it can be taken however anyone wishes to take it.

At this time I am down to 58 snakes.
Of those 58 snakes only four or five do not constrict, and they are young snakes.
When I feed my snakes frozen thawed they react the same as if they were live.
I introduce the prey item.
The snake catches the scent.
It locates and aproaches the prey.
It strikes....it coils...it constircts...and it eats.
EXACTLY the same reactions as in the wild.
The ONLY difference is the death of the mouse.

So do you like to see a snake act as it would in the wild or do you like to see the mouse die? If you like to see the mouse die, say so. If not then there is no difference in feeding live , stunned or frozen/thawed as far as the snake's actions.

I look at it another way also.
I do not see the need to risk my investment. Simple as that.

ok I have had my say, like or leave it...LOL
 
Thankyou. I am very sorry to have started all this.
Wild neonate, I am sorry to have offended you, please don't hate me for it, please can we leave it there. I feel really bad now, I didn't mean to start a debate like this.
 
I think you guys misinterpreted what i said. I don't like killing animals but my snakes do. So whatever. Theres probably just as much suffering in freezing to death as any other fate a mouse bred for reptile food will have.

I would search on the euthenisia of rodents before making that conclusion.

Feeder rodents aren't frozen to death.
 
Please can we just leave it there. Your snake is very pretty btw. I have never seen colour like that before.
