In Reply to: Re: Indigo's method of killing prey.... posted by Dean Alessandrini on August 28, 2001 at 11:50:54:
Remember that indigos are not constrictors, they overpower their prey with jaw strength and weight. If you feed live to an indigo, they will thrash the prey around to kill it.
I quit feeding live to my indigos when the male almost broke the glass on the front of his cage tossing the live mouse around. Now, like Dean, I only feed prekilled/frozen-thawed to my indigos. They still aggressively attack the prey, but they dont do the thrashing behavior that a live prey item would ellicit.
