yeah..either that or I'm going to switch him to f/t...he took it just fine the last time. Or I will start feeding him rabbits...ive heard they are not as viscious as rats...and the rabbits would only be the size of jumbo rats or a bit bigger...not those huge 10 pounders I see retics eating...lol

As I just said in a previous post, if you are feeding live rats or rabbits to your snake, you don't deserve to be owning a snake. If it will take F/T, give it F/T. It's apparent that you are feeding live strictly for your own amusement. And if you think rabbits aren't as nasty as rats, there are plenty of boa breeders here who will probably be more than happy to sell you a new one when yours gets killed. Although I hope they would refuse the sale, since you'll probably just end up killing the new one too. Wake the hell up, djc3674.

I only need to feed fuzzies, but I whack 'em anyways to get my snakes to take prekilled mice now instead of trying to switch over later on. The only bad experience I had was with a pinkie I was thawing for my corn... the water was way too hot, and when he wrapped it up the result was more like a burrito than anything else. Now I just stun them against a wall. Sure I could grab a pencil and do the cervical thing but the wall is handier.

what's more effective to use, a pillowcase or a plastic bag?
i use bags, i find i can swing them better and focus the impact to one spot and just in case theres a split, blood doesnt go everywhere.
also, i dont know about anyone else .. but i have no problem in killing mice. it just doesnt upset me, never really has.

Yarrrrggghhhh! stop it stop it stop it!
LOL! bags and pillow cases are sloppy man, get a whacking stick (see my ad above haha) much quicker and more accurate, haven't obliterated any entire rodents with one, unlike the bag method. If you're worried about the possibility of a blood bath, which I'll give you does happen occaisonally, do it in the basement or over a cardboard box.

Whats apparent Invictus is with every post..you become more and more of a self-righteous jerk! Who do you think you are judging me and how I treat my snakes? All of my animals are well cared for and very healthy...so you can shove your comments up your ***. I do not feed my snakes live prey for my own enjoyment for your information.
Just because you have your own method or opionion on how to feed your reptiles..you shouldnt pass judgement because someone prefers another way. You come across very pig-headed and I am actually thinking about just not posting on this site anymore...I dont need to be ridiculed or put down when you dont agree with one of my posts. I dont need to deal with your bullshit (Invictass)

i totally agree with you djc3674 as i do feed live prey ( not by choice but obligation ) but anyway there is no need to act like that on the forum just because someone doesnt do like you . Are his animals healthy yeah well stfu thats it .

I use both. For mice a pillowcase doesn't really cut it as there is too much resistance because the prey item is too light. For rats (small and up) I use a pillowcase, can't really kill something that large effectively in a plastic bag, the thing will bust open no problems.

There's no need to leave the forum. I noticed the same behaviour from some members (not reffering to Invictus neither to this thread) those i'm reffering to, they will understand...
They try to change your mind acting as they know everything. Usually those persons asking everything, even the most silly question and because they lack of unacquired perception, when they learn something (i.e. how much cms must drill for air holes?) they locked it inside their fiddling mind and the worse of all, when someone has different oppinion they do their best to tigiment their oppinions. They try to have an audience to support their oppinions. With every "victory" they are happy and laughing on others back...
Well this is a lack of maturity and puniness.
I never liked and do that. I never want from anyone to rigiment his oppinions to me. I tell what i believe and that's all. We are not talking to children each other and we must respect other's oppinions and coign of vantage.
Let's not demonstrate the dogmatic self uppon others.
~Greg~

my ball will only eat live, but once one of my mice (my mommy at that!--i named her Butterscotch!) developed a huge tumor or cyst or something on it's neck and it just kept growing and growing until it finally broke open from all her scratching. i was going to whack it , but was scared i wouldn't do it hard enough, so i put her in a tub of water & held the lid down until i couldn't feel her moving anymore (an eternity). tho it was a mercy kill i felt so bad. i know how i'm gonna die now.

ps: why do so many people prefer pre-killed? is it because the snake might get bit? mine does quite well on live and could eat a whole cage full!
