dobby7, your knowledge of captive reptile husbandry obviously leaves much to be desired when you make such comparisons between the diets of wild snakes and that of snakes in captivity. Don’t worry I am not going to waste my time any further in an attempt to educate you on the subject either. I couldn’t care less if you respect me as a person or not however uncalled for that statement of yours was. You have the right to feel however you may, just as well as I have the right to state my opinion whether you “need” it or not!
I hope this thread will serve as a warning to potential buyers of feeder rodents as there are clearly very different standards out there. You can never be quite sure of what went into the food we feed our valued reptiles when you purchase your feeder rodents from unknown sources.
