: Joe while I agree to some degree with what you are saying, I tried to feed commercial diet to this snake. Nutritionally it sucked as do many commercial foods out there. Then we tried already dead pinkies and mice. Wouldn't eat them EVER. So in my boyfriends case live food was the only food this animal would eat....Its not for me but, sometimes a necessity.

I know I was off the deep end earlier... But the thought of an Ig Dying so some Creep can get off sickens me.
If have in kill another animal is the only way one can get it to eat (and I'm not on a save the crickets crusade), maybe one should take another look at why they want this animal as a pet. I do not think I could have the close feels and love for my dog that I do, if I had to give her live rabbits every day. And that is come from one that grew up in the country and was hunting shortly after I was big enough to walk. If there is no other way to get the animal to eat, maybe it is not suitable to be a pet. Maybe people should put a little more in too developing an alternetive product. "I can not find I better way" should not be an acceptable reason for crulty.
