let alone film it.

But really, when you think about it, how different is that for the mouse as compared to being strangled to death by a snake?

ummmm 10 seconds vs. a minute

both are natural. both are not natural in the tanks. i pre-kill mice for my snake. that = no pain for mouse, no pain for snake, no gore for me!

When my snake gets a bad bite (and thus a bad wrap) on a mouse, he can take almost two minutes to finish it off, mainly because he has to readjust his grip on the mouse without letting go.

which is why i buy pre-killed and frozen mice/rats.

that way i dont need to kill them or worry about them hurting my snake.

While there is that risk, unless you dump in multiple mice at once, and/or leave them in overnight during a period that your snake shows no interest in eating, the risk is rather minimal.

My neighbor across the hall in the dorms feeds his snake like once every 4 weeks a live rat. He put the rat in yesterday and his snake wasn't hungry so he didn't eat the rat. He left it in and was going to take care of it today and then he found this.

One baby is already dead and I guess theres like 10 total baby rats in the cage. Whats the best way to dispose of them, toilet? What should we do with the rat. Its useless for snake feeding now.

Why is the rat useless for snake feeding?

piranhas eat pretty much anything that lives in the water... or anything that happens to wander/fall into the water.

The snake wasn't hungry so he won't eat the rat. We are not gonna keep the rat alive in a box and try to feed it to the snake later on. We are not supposed to have any animals except fish in the dorms so we have to be careful what we day.
