well guys,

The cases you two mentioned I couldn´t agree more. You both talk about rattlers and a boa. For the boa, those type of snakes are lookiing so big but are just little kids.. They get scared of a mouse or rat that moves a bit to fast towards them and only will try to hide when attaced by a rodent. The same counts for rattlers, bitis sp etc for all I care. BUT as I mentioned before, I keep Elapids. They really kill the prey ..and when I say kill I mean kill.. Only for the nigricollis this is different but all other cobra´s I have go crazy when a rodent comes inside the cages and will strike more then 10 times and at the same time throw the rodent through the air. The poor rodent doesn´t even have a chance of trying to bite cause he doesn´t even know what hit him..

so Don´t worry guys,, I give animals that I keep that are not so "brave" dead prey but for my Elapids thats a different story
