doesn't matter; had sex

If the smell of rotting rats is your cup of tea then I guess yea 38

Pets snakes really?

Who else read that comment in Sheldon's voice? XD

What kind of snake eats dead prey.

You should try them. You never know you might like them.

60 What kind of question doesn't have a question mark at the end?

Actually, people use frozen animals all the time to feed snakes. You heat them up when its ready to feed them. What the hell kind of person puts an animal through being eaten alive?

Actually my corn snake eats one dead rat per week. It's kinda fun watching him attack it when I drop it in the cage hahha

This kind of person with her kind of snake. Rats probably taste sick enough without being freeze dried and nuked.

#69 one that isn't a question...fgt.

oh ho you very clever indeed!

Snakes dont eat dead animals. They arent scavengers. They eill only eat food they have killed themselves. Also they see infra red so woildnt eat frozen food... This fml is suspect

We had this happen with a freezer full of actual meat and it made me throw up. I'd hate to be OP, I wonder if the smell would be worse?

As a fellow snake keeper, I also have a freezer with mice in them and unfortunately the same thing happened to me once. To be honest, the smell of the other meats was WAY worse than that of the mice, they smelled kind of... Earthy. What I hated more was all the wasted lives of the mice (some might call me a hypocrite for that, but I think feeding a pet is still a useful goal, while throwing them away isn't).

Thanks for the response 45, and sorry for thread-jacking 4. And I get you about the mice, mice for food are bred for this purpose. Sad, but true.

Snakes should be extinct

I'm glad you wrote that, #45. Rats are my absolute favorites in the animal kingdom, and I've been keeping them for a few years now. So naturally, it hurts to know that they're one of the most "exploitable" animals on the planet, along with mice. But it always comforts me to see that some snake owners see these animals as living beings, not solely as food. It shows respect towards all living creatures and an understanding of the food chain, however cruel it may be.

No she keeps dead rats frozen for her pet snakes to eat gross

Snakes should be extinct

So what would the snake eat?

you would reconsider when it started to think you would make an awfully tasty lunch

Really, I wouldn't even think of letting a snake in my house.

Oh my gosh, this comment made me laugh. I just imagined them being all serious with this mad expression on their face because they can't pet the snake!! Haha

you can stroke it gently though

You can stroke my snake if you want to ;D

Wtf? Horny bitches....

Did I just witness a 15 year old try to pick up a 23 year old?

I believe 25 was talking about me towards the comment above mine.

I thought 22 was talking to 15 but I could've read it wrong (:

You actually can. If you handle your pet reptiles enough, they not only become accustomed to it, but some even seek it out. I had a bearded dragon that would run up my arm when I reached in his enclosure because he wanted attention. Also had a red-tailed Columbian boa that loved to be draped across my shoulders and even kissed on the top of his head. They're not fish or amphibians, where your skin oils damage them. You not only can, but are encouraged to handle pet reptiles, so long as you follow proper hand hygiene.
