Accidental pet :-/
So I have a pet snake, a ball python to be exact. She eats live mice. I go to the pet store, and I get the feeder mice, which are white and have lil pink eyeballs and they aren't really cute at all, so I don't really have any problems with it. I love my snake, and she needs to eat.
I sent DH to the pet store to pick up a feeder mouse on the way home from work since he had my car. He came home with this cute little black and white stripy one who is super pregnant. Besides the fact that it's super cute, it's PREGNANT!! I'm not completely heartless.
Luckily I've had pretty much every kind of pet (besides birds) so it was just a matter of taking some stuff out of one of the fishtanks I have, and throwing some pine shavings in it.
*sigh* didn't really want another pet
Re: Accidental pet :-/
Whoa, man. I cannot imagine feeding a live mouse to another live animal. That doesn't freak you out at all? I know everything needs to eat, but I just don't think I could do that. I like snakes, though.
So are you going to keep the cute, non-feeder mouse and it's eventual babies or take it back to the pet store?
Ha, I love the fact that someone your DH came back with this non-feeder, and preggo mouse
HAHAHA, I can totally see my DH doing the same.
Agree with Aweilba - I would not be able to feed the snake a live animal... nor would I be able to look at the little just-born mice, they are kinda eeky.
Does your snake actually let the mouse live a little and hunts her in his terrarium, or do you hand it to his mouth directly when you feed it?

Wow, nice and clean! Last time we left our cat, Harley, around the house to catch a mouse, I found the bathtub looking like Dexter's kill room.

My DH would have done exactly the same thing. Send him out to get a red square and he would come home with a blue circle.
Can we please have a pic of your snake in the bathtub. I'm really not a snake fan...but I'm curious.
We don't have snakes in New Zealand.
