I agree.
I think most people who posted here forget that we are talking about CAPTIVE reptiles.

It doesn't matter if the snake is c.b. or w.c., venomous or non-venomous, they are still CAPTIVE, i.e. caged, confined, etc.

Doesn't matter in the wild, they normally eat live prey items,(some are scavengers) the snake (predator) is NOT confined by a cage, exhibit, etc. They (the prey item) can still get away, or the snake can escape a rodent that wants to retaliate.

I have known folks that have had a 2 dollar rodent kill a 500 dollar snake, so, do the math. Your reasoning is skewed, and I think you didn't understand Jim Harrisons "final answer".
You are making a mockery out of this post by coming back again and again with challenges, with no evidence or proof to back it up. It's only conjecture on your part. Listen to people with experience and reason, and them maybe, you'll see the light.
