How can you even do that without the rats squirming and going crazy. Isn't there a lot of bleeding when you snap the rats teeth out of its mouth?

exactly what I was thinking. He just always likes to be right, even if he knows I'm right.

exactly :/ :/ :/ :/

i cant even believe i just read that... What an incredibly inhumane and cruel practice. We all have probably been to the dentist, even getting a cavity filled can be excruciating, i cant imagine someone actually breaking off your teeth. The difference isn a) we know what is going on and b) we often have lidocaine, novicaine, etc, to diminish the pain.
. The difference between humans and rodents is that their teeth are much more firmly rooted in their skulls incredibly painful, i'm still in shock

we dont need to make any special provisions for our snakes, if you dont want your snake to get bit, dont feed live. bottom line: snakes have BEEN eating live animals since before homo sapiens even showed up, we dont need to do them any favors :P
