For some reason I thought you were from Texas lol. People tend to only say rubbish hear when they are really peeved, so I thought you were very angry but when I reread it you seemed pretty calm.

Mice! They taste so nice!
No worries! I was being objective about the snakes technique. Compared to the full-on strike feeders I've got here, it was clumsy and not very efficient. My least efficient feeder is my snow, Diamond Lil, who actually had more live feedings than the rest of my snakes put together, because she was determined to starve herself to death in her early years. In comparison to her I've got snakes who have never been live fed that literally slam the zombie mice out of my hands

there's a site where if you take a pic of your snake on a tile floor (for big snakes) or graph paper (for babies) and give the dimensions of the tile or graph, it will calculate the exact length of your snake. I have it marked on one of my other forums. I will try to get it linked here for you guys ASAP

Getting in kind of late on this thread, I watched the video. Is it possible OP believes feeding live is the way to go (as in this what pet store told him was optimal). The comment 'too small for live', makes me wonder. To this comment I would say the bigger the snake the bigger the mouse/rat, the more damage. If this snake were an adult and struck as it did in video I think prey would surely win. Also a cosideration as an adult the snake will go into thoughts of the other sex especially this time of year and food is on back burner. I have had a male snake look at mouse (dead) nudge, bite, coil, drop nudge, again drop go to other side of feeding tub. So what does OP think live prey would have done to this snake.

Then why not answer my and Janine's question about why he wants to feed live?
"Because the guy at the pet store told me to. Is there an alternative? Is there some reason I should reconsider my decision? Why should I not believe every word a pet store employee says?"

I believe EVERYTHING the pet store guy or girl tells me right after they show me their "PROFESSIONAL REPITLE CREDENTIALS" signed by Steve Irwin or Shawn Heflick from Python Hunters.
So you can guess how many I have been shown :laugh::laugh:
Many times I have been to the pet store and they ask me questions after I ask to hold the corns and this is what I say " Even thou I own them, I am still on a forum that helps me know them better, I'm no expert, and I never do anything out of whim or without asking a professional first"

You asked for advice, but you were also asked why this is your choice. Your choice OK but why? Do you feel it is 'natural', do you enjoy the kill??? It is only fair if you ask advice on doing this you explain why you want to do it.
Can I ask how long you have had this snake?

Cohabbing is cruelty...
Su, I think this one is a lost cause. He wants to because he wants to. He does not care about the snake. We have already established that his snake could be injured or killed by live food. We have established that his snake could get worms from live food. He does not care.
Perhaps he gets a tingle in the nether regions from the kill, perhaps he gets a feeling of power seeing a small animal die, I don't know what he gets from it. But it is clear that whatever he gets out of it is worth more to him than his snake....
