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
It is sad but there is no other way. We had to breed our own mice to feed our snakes. As we had around 15 or so snakes at the same time each eating from 2-5 mice each, the costs of buying them frozen from the shops would be monumental. It was really sad when the mice time was up but thats just how it is.
