    People have different thoughts. I had a 20yo ball python that was given to me (that I recently rehomed) and his poor little face is just a mess of scars. I'm sure it was from rat bites. By the time you find the prey has bitten the snake...it has already bitten. Just like with any bite, it is a puncture infused with bacteria. Once that scab sets it's a nice environment for anaerobic bacteria to grow and create a lovely abscess. Yuck!

    That's exactly what happened to my B/W Columbian I got from rescue. He had gotten bitten so severely-got a horrible absess on his leg and one eyelid was ripped off! Poor guy! He's lots better now. And he just eats F/T mice. I think he must have been given a live rat that was way too big for him. :sad:

    I was at a pet store with my daughter when she was about 6. She said "Dad, look at the rabbits" and I asked her "Em, what are rabbits for?" she said "Yeh, I know... snake food". The scewed look on the face of the woman behind us in line was priceless.
    I explained long ago to my kids that some animals are food for others. That's why they "Breed like rats".

    Nice. 2nd post and already criticizing someones spelling. Feel better about yourself now? This is a Tegu enthusiasts community, not a spelling bee. I swear, some people have nothing better to do but scour the net looking for spelling errors. Seems there's one in every forum.

    Rant over.

    I don't want to see a flame war start on this thread.

    I know that proper spelling makes a post easier to read, but let's not be harsh. Some people are using English as a second language here and some, like my daughter, may be truly dyslexic and have spelling issues.

    We like to keep this site friendly and open to communication.

    Thanks

    My apologies to the mods, and any members who feel my response was harsh.
    I'm a member of many forums and my biggest pet peeve is members who do nothing but increase their post count by taking cheap shots at other members. I know a lot of folks that are extremely intelligent, who put very little importance in their typing abilities and it shows. We all know what they mean.
    Ironically, this little discussion, though uncalled for, seems somewhat appropriate for this thread.
    Again, my apologies.

    Back to feeding cute fuzzy things to ugly, smelly, scaly, cold blooded things.:P

    My post was not directed at you, Quijibo. I thought you were well in line and you are a wonderful contributor to the forum. I appreciate you sticking up for the original poster. I only wanted to prevent a back and forth debate that could have come after your first post.
