At its finest? Far, far from it. What would you call people who string up live dogs and skin them as they hang helpless? Because that shit happens on fur farms. This is just an ignorant pet owner feeding a live rodent to a predator that would naturally hunt this rodent for food in the wild. Yes sometimes the rodent can defend itself with lethal force, and should at least be stunned so that it can't fight back. But definitely not cruelty at its finest. And some snakes simply won't eat the already dead feeder mice, even if you warm them up.

I agree with this other person. It's a bad practice for an owned snake but not inherently cruel by any means.

You have to wonder if this is a poisonous type snake...did it poison itself? I've read it rare but there is a possibility...

You actually don't have to wonder when the Internet is at your fingertips. It's not some great mystery what kind of snake this is lol

Hmm almost like thatโs one of the risks of live feeding and why ya shouldnโt do it. Reptiles get hurt. Fancy that

albino snakes and oddly colored ones are extremely inbred and probably got literal rocks for brains because of it. Extremely stupid thanks to humans who prefer pretty snakes over morals.

Ok but like... Can't they feel it???? Doesn't the braincell go "mmhmm, this doesn't feel like a ra.... WAIT A MINUTE" and let go??

With live feeding there are times where the snake does get injured by the prey. It really isnโt good practice

Ooh i see! Makes sense tbh. I wonder if they play like cats do to get enrichment.

My children's python has done this. Dead pinky right in front of her and she just.. misses. Talk about a stressful 10 minutes trying to unhook her teefs without hurting her. (She was fine, ate the pinky right after)
