Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Snake Owners, Feeding Methods
Simple, No debate
What do you feed your snakes? Do you feed a combination of all of these methods, or do you primarily feed a specific way.
I dont care why you do(everyone has their reasons), im just interested in what methods you guys use during feeding time!
I looked around and didnt personally find a poll about this already( there still might be!), and i wanted to create one that was non confrontational, because it is such a hot topic, but it IS something thats pretty interesting to know. I think numbers are always good to look at.
So, Have at it. - Live
- F/T
- Prekilled
- Stunned
- Other
What do you feed?

F/T to 99% of the collection.
Live to a couple BPs and maybe 3 boas that like to switch between f/t & live.
Finally getting 1 of the live eating BPs over to P/K ( its a start to F/t WOOT ).

I usually feed F/T...but sometimes I have to feed live pinks to newborns that won't take F/T yet.

f/t is the easiest and least expensive way for me.

It varies depending on individual snake preferences and size/temperament of the feeder (rodent). Larger, more agressive feeders are almost always offered F/T or prekilled. Smaller/juvenile feeders are usually offered live where needed, as they represent less risk of injury for the reptile.
Regards.

I chose "Other" because no one else did. I use roadkill (you know the stuff that has been cooking for a while).
Funny story. When I was in Idaho, there was a skunk that was killed on the road and sat in the center of the road for 6 months!!! It went through the entire winter, covered in fresh snow, packed, and slush. After the weather started to warm up it was finally gone.

yeah, i figured, there might be some out there that tried other things, like... those weird snake sausage things....
Roadkill is different though/ interesting too ( you are serious right? just figured i would ask ), are you ever worried about rabies and such?

About fifteen or so years ago I was bringing my 8 year old daughter to school and saw a gray squirrel get tagged in front of me. Without thinking much about it I jumped out, wrapped it in newspaper and threw it in the car. My daughter just about died. From then on every time I saw road kill I would pretend to be pulling over as a joke.
