| I wouldn't be able to live feed. If I attempted it, the feeders would become my pets before they ever made it to the reptile lol |

| @Ven, that would be fun! I have heard bearded dragons are very personable, but they aren't for me because I believe they are also messy. |

| I just really enjoyed getting into the genetics of fancy mice. I bought from reputable breeders in a few states with really good stock, bred them up and culled what I didn't need. At one point I had over 120 mice when I did my first hard cull (adult and grow outs. I reduced litter sizes within 2 days of birth so litters were 4-6 per mom) That first massive cull killed me. Dispatching 40 mice at once is... it's hard on the heart. That's when I decided to lower my numbers until eventually I was at 14 adults, 3 males with their own females, culling all but the best babies, and then stopped completely. Was not easy at all. |

| Possibly. We've been looking at milk snakes. But now things are leaning toward a bearded dragon |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Ven, are you getting your son a pet snake soon? I thought you mentioned that at one point. |
| Stormsong Manor |
| I love fancy mice but after living in NYC and having a mouse infestation, I'm good with never having them around (alive) again |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Dimmed, dang. I only have one snake too, but thankfully I have a reliable pet store to get frozen mice at. |

| it can be dangerous to feed live prey to snakes, even with mice. their bites are no joke |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Athena, I also think feeding live isn't very ethical when it comes to pet snakes. |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| I remember watching an exotic vet show and a lot of people brought in snakes that were injured from their prey fighting back. |
| Irish Fields |
| Because you risk them get bitten or scratched. Which can lead to infection, blindness, loss of scales etc. |
| Astral Appies |
| Obvioucly not a snake person. Why can't the snakes just take care of the dispatching themselves? WOuldn't it be easier? And more like how they eat in nature? |
| Irish Fields |
| Yeah I stopped purchasing frozen because the quality was horrible. So my husband and I have a pair of rats at the moment to get some babies from at least but we buy live from a local pet shop and my husband dispatches them before feeding |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Dimmed, so you breed your own feeder mice? How many snakes do you have? |
| Equity Falls |
| Alby not really. I don't trust the frozen pet store ones and no local breeders within an hour of me. When we move I plan to breed again, I just need her to eat what I have. Ive got over 100 mice frozen |

| We got Juju, Zazi, Athena and Aphrodite for the BPs all have there moments, though 'dite and Zazi are manics for anything on the end of some tongs, even fingers on the other, other end lmao |
