Yes you are. Provided the kittens are humanely killed.

 

[Incredible_Reptiles]

You can legally feed your snakes any 'domestic animals' here in Qld.

It's about time that there was justice in the world...or alteast Queensland. :twisted:

 

[Incredible_Reptiles]

Drowning is NOT classed as legally humane. The only approved method here in Qld is a gas chamber.

Mick, some feed guinea pigs, finches, chickens, quail etc. bit contraversial issue when it comes to "domestics" like kittens, puppeis etc. Depends on the size snake i suppose, heard of people feeding BIG scrubbys with baby goats, lambs so on. If you could catch wild rabbits and freeze em (after killing) for atleast 2 months, that would be a great free food source for bigger snakes. Not sure about wild bats (probly illegal and they carry lissavirus) but snakes do get them in the wild. :wink:

 

[Incredible_Reptiles]

Oh...and injections (but that's no good for our snakes )

 

[Guest]

I vote for drowning myself!!!

 

[Incredible_Reptiles]

Well go on liberated...drown yourself.

 

[Incredible_Reptiles]

You have to be careful though instar, catching them from the wild is actually illegal. They must be domestically bred. Trust me, i have alot of experience with this now!! LOL.
