A couple months ago I fed a 2' green iguana to a 3' blackthroat. It was rather brutal, I ended up killing the iguana myself (blackthroat got a butt grab on him and it went downhill from there). Funny the blackthroat had the iguana's tail hanging out of his mouth for two days as it rotted ("mommy is that his tongue?" "um Im not sure honey..."



I fed a savannah a blazing blizzard lizard yesterday. Then an african egg eating snake to a cal king. That took forever.



Here's a vid of mine of a blackthroat eating a parakeet...

Fed another parakeet to a bluetail and wow that was a mess. He tore it's crop open with his claws and ewwww. A yacare / spectacled cross caimen got a parakeet last week and ...well it was quite the flurry of activity to say the least.



I regularly feed scorpions to my savannah. Now that is awesome.



I obviously have no qualms about that sort of thing. Besides the rodents we so readily feed our reptiles have a much more advanced nervous system and fear response, so I certainly dont think 'ah poor lizard' (well that iguana got to me after a while...).
