I'm well aware of that. I don't have any snakes. The snake I was talking to belongs to my cousin. I don't think I could handle feeding mice to a snake, so I'd rather have a dog for a pet.

Oh, we loved feeding our snakes. My brothers and I would line up in front of the cage to watch. It totally freaked out my mom though.

Eh, mice aren't so bad, we had some once, and they weren't pets. I loved chasing and catching them.

*makes note to call Kali the next time a gerbil gets loose* Those critters are such a pain to catch. Especially if I grabbed them wrong and they bite out of self defense. Or if I get the tip of the tail, the fur tuft rips off! Ack!

Rats.. rats are such a piece of cake. Just sit on the floor with some food for them, and they come right to ya!

Hmm, I've never gotta bitten by any of the mice I caught. I got bit by my snake once, and by a hamster.

My friend loves rats, she's had several as pets, and will probably get at least one when we move.

The funny thing, my college roomie would buy young rats with the intent to save them from becoming snake food!

*shudders*
How weird. I've never had any rodents for pets. I used to have a pair of birds, but I don't remember what species they were.

I couldn't feed mice or rats to a snake, because I've had so many as pets, I think of them as little friends, not snake food.
I guess I'll never get a snake, then. Oh.. hang on .. what do iguana's eat....?

**azure turtle** · 06-08-2002, 12:59 AM

I think iguanas eat bugs. Crickets, most likely...though I think some iguanas eat foliage, too. We'll have to wait for one of our resident animal experts to answer that one

Hehe... same reason I prefer an iguana. I like snakes, but I also like rodents, so that may not work out too well. (unless it's a barn snake, catching the wild mice eating up the horse grain!)

*snorts* There's been many a time when I've been tempted to turn a certain featherhead into snake food.
