While I don't object to feeding your snake live prey if that I what you want to do, but let's not pretend that we are learning anything about how a snake hunts in the wild. You put a captive breed mouse in the cage with no fear of predators, and no way to escape if it wanted to. Was this a WC snake that had over time learned to refine its hunting skills?



I know that there are many people out there who like to watch one animal kill and eat another animal, and that is fine, but don't try to justify your behavior by saying it is in the quest of knowledge. That is just a bunch of bull.



Dusty, you should know better.
