In the nicest way possible, please euthanize the animal first and please don't post it here, I have occasionally fed snake to snake, but I don't post it as most here don't condone it. It is a free country, but be reminded that you will get negative feedback from such actions, as it is their right to respond to what you post. On the other hand, peeps, we should keep the name calling to ourselves, as that doesn't solve anything. We want to persuade them and teach them, not drive them away. This guy is somebodies son. Chastize, perhaps, insult, I don't think you will change anyone's mind with that.

Very well put Todd.

BTW I am a bit surprised by everyones overeaction here.. I mean snakes eat snakes. Thats a fact of their lives. People post snakes eating live HEALTHY mice on here all the time and people cheer. Some are tiny newborns with their eyes closed and calling for their mama. Why is it this offends and the mouse does not? Could it be because we are all prejudice against rodents like some people are against snakes? A snakes does not have the same feeling and intelligence than a mouse does. Now I ask how many of you fed a live mouse to a snake before?

I also have come up on snakes eating other snakes in the wild. DORs (roadkill) have them inside of their stomachs. I see people posting snakes eating other snakes in the wild on field collecting forums. Is this less offensive because the snakes are doing what is natural? IN THE WILD!! hmmmm.

Persoanlly I feel a mouse is more intelligent than a snakes. AT least in the way we can relate with feelings, fear, nerve endings ect.
