Dusty,
My point is that feeding your snake live mice in cages teaches one nothing about how a snake goes obout locating, stalking?, and catching its prey in a natural setting.
To start your post with "well said" only serves to encourage this sadistic behavior. He didn't just tell us about it, he posted pictures and justified it by saying he wanted to learn something about this snakes natural behavior in the wild. People can post what they want, but I see nothing educational or scientific about what was done.
A few summers ago, I was at a small pond where I saw a water snake stalking a frog. Well, before the snake could strike, and it did get very close, the frog must have seem the slight movement, and leaped to safety. That was nature. Throwing live mice into cages, no matter how well decorated, teaches us almost nothing. The snake is not "working" for his meal, and the mouse doesn't have a chance not to become the meal.
