I just would like to know, is your morbid fascination with your snake "naturally" killing its prey worth its health??







>>My response does not have much to do with the original post, as I think that has been answered. But in the process it seems like some incorrect information was given out.

>>

>>First of all I would like to say (as I have said before) this is the major fault of getting information from forums. One minute someone posts a message saying one thing, next minute someone else says the opposite with the same level of confidence and justification.

>>

>>Now, as far as the things that were said. To say a person should never house 2 corns together is wrong. It needs some qualification. Also, housing 2 different sized corns together is not necessarily wrong. That also needs some qualification.

>>

>>I find this disconcerting. I understand that it is easy to just say things when you are typing them, but remember, many people read these posts. Not only is it confusing to hear 3 different things, but chances are at least one of them is wrong, or at least inaccurately stated.

>>

>>The next thing is the issue of live food. As per the Corn Manual, Kathy says that corns are very adept at killing mice and rats, and rarely get hurt. In fact she says that some breeders always use live feeders. The statements made here by some people need some qualification. I don't know any statistics on it, but I would bet with some accuracy that 90% of the time when a rodent injures a corn it is because the corn was not intending to eat that rodent. This was the situation in this case. But does this mean live rodents or bad? Or you can't feed live rats? No.

>>

>>Now this should no be confused with the fact that some people have made their own decisions regarding certain questions . For instance I would never feed a live rat to my corn. Does that mean it shouldn’t be done?. No.

>>

>>Anyway, I don't know - it just bothers me when people don’t say true things (or at least clearly qualify that they are stating their opinion). Especially on an online forum like this where people come to read to learn.

Good luck and Happy Herping
