what an ignorant answer if i was a mice fancier i wouldnt feed them mice
i am not agianst feeding live animals that are rodents or pest or commercial breed for that purpose , but catching wild skinks and gecoks .
i see now one of the members also has a burtons for sale on this site so i guess iam going to get some flack from loyal mates
if i had a hard to feed python would it be ok to feed it another hard to feed python so you at least get one eatting
I think not !
Ignorant? Ok, good for me I guess.
I think you are getting a little bit carried away here. The member who has one for sale is not a 'mate'. Really. I don't even know them.
If you had a species of python that was rare in captivity, evolved to feed on reptiles, couldn't readily be switched to rodents and wasn't amicable to tube feeding, I doubt that too many people who had been around the traps, so to speak, would condone you for feeding it an introduced species of pest snake that was readily available. I don't encourage live feeding, but sometimes it has to be done. I think you will find they also take frozen ahg's....
I doubt your last example would ever occur...afterall, a species that has evolved to only eat it's own kind....well that's a bit of a negative selective pressure.
