Isn't that a horrible thing to say. Snakes have to eat- true, but it's just wrong not to care about the mouse's pain. Why wont you kill the mouse before feeding it out? It's really easy, safer to the snake, and more humane to the mouse. I do it by putting it in a paper bag and hitting it against the ground a few times. Sheesh.

No, the snake will be fine. I have one snake (an intermittantly picky feeder) who will swallow fuzzies whole and they kick around in his stomach for a few seconds. If the fuzzies have their eyes open I'd be a little more worried, because of the possibility of a bite.
