Sorry my ''Story'' doesn't add up and you're disappointed in the content, you'll be glad to know from this point onward i will do my very best to lift the standards of such posts to meet you're requirements.
The rat was in there for at least an hour and a half, i'm not entirely sure if it ''ate'' its brains, maybe ''chewed its head off'' was more appropriate..
''I'm sure there's far more to this story than we've been told and led to believe.''
I'm not sure what you mean by this? As far as you believing my the statement..I am not bothered of you're opinion either way good sir.
Thank you for you're expertise on the matter i'll be sure to pass the info on.
and hour and a half? after having it's head bashed against a wall or some such? no, sorry, don't believe you, I bred rats for near on six years (about 200 at any given time) I have a LOT of experience in this, I've seen how long it takes a rat to recover enough to even wander around just a little, and your story has so many holes it's not even funny, so how is it that this happened to your mate, but you know exactly what went on and when and in what order?
I can understand you wanting defend your "friend' but the series of events are simply too fantastical to be plausible in the way they've been laid out.
People wouldn't have believed it otherwise, and would say "pics or it didn't happen". Sometimes graphic photo's are needed to help get the severity of the situation through to the ignorant ones out there ( I don't mean you).
then let them ask for pics privately, there's no need for this type of image to be up, or at least have a not safe warning in the thread title.
Too many inexperienced people on here inkage to expect serious discussion/education. What you have shown is that your mate did the wrong thing! His snake has paid the ultimate price and very unfortunate that he has lost a beautiful snake. Yes it's cruel, yes it's wrong but such a powerful message in this!!!
inexperienced? yes, there are quite a few indeed, but there are also a lot of people who are quite experienced.
serious discussion INCLUDES people seeing and hearing an impossible story and then debunking it's supposed plausibility, because they know better from personal experience.
and it is a powerful message, IF it's true, and I simply don't believe the time line of supposed things happening, or the way they have been portrayed.
this isnt the first time ive heard and seen of this happening. im glad a pic has been posted to show the consequences of feeding live live rodents
No wranga, this is the consequences of not supervising during a fresh kill feed, not because it was a fresh kill feed, lets not get carried away with half truths and misinformation here.
