my son is desperate for a snake and i have thought about it but i cant do with feeding it mice or rats etc, i used to have pet mice, and i know that thats what snakes need to eat and it wouldn't be fair on the snake not to give it what it needs.
i used to know someone who used to feed huge live rats to his huge snake, it used to make me physically sick.

i cant even kill the snails in my tank without getting upset lol
