I was feeding my bp's last week and had an extra mouse. I always put the mouse box in my trashcan so if they chew out of it, they cant get out of the trash. Well, I had one left cause one of the ball pythons wouldnt eat. I was going to throw it to my boa as the cherry on top of his meal, but as I was digging through my trash for the mouse I realized something. The mouse has everything he needs to live in there. There is always food and water in my trash. Plus, I already change the "cage" every week I decided to keep the mouse and just let him live in the trash. Its been a week now and he is doing great. Every night he comes up to the top of the trash and pokes around. He seems to like to live in empty bottles and boxes in there.



Just wondering... do you guys think this is inhumane? I mean, he was going to be snake food anyway, and he seems to be enjoying his trash life.
