Posted by: JoshHutto at Tue Mar 20 17:14:34 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by JoshHutto ] I agree with other posters about taping the feeding process. But for those that have never dealt with large snakes, don't critisize for feeding live rabbits or other prey items. I for one would prefer to feed prekilled to large constrictors as to avoid any potential injury to the snake but once the prey items and snakes get to a certain size, will it just made me uncomfortable to pre-kill the animals. For one, I used to own several very large retics (almost 20ft) that were fed on small goats (up to 25lbs). The humane way of pre-killing such an animal would be to seperate it's cervical collumn but the actual truth is the most humane way is to allow a finely tuned predator to do what nature intended. The prey almost instantly died when grabbed without the trauma of me trying to pre-kill it. I guarentee that live feedings are less stressful to the large prey animals than pre-killing. | ||
