And you wanted me to send you a couple of my radixes! I think they will be staying in Iowa. Safe and sound.
Personanly, don't like your flippant attitude about feeding off the one animal this website is dedicated to and I don't care if there's a lot of them.
I know of a couple members that have feed dead/stillborns/deformed garters to other animals in their collections but to feed garters just to feed another snake or any other animal doesn't sit right with me.
I've only been a member of this forum for less than two years but have spent a lot of time reading old threads. I don't remember reading any comments from current or past members referring to feeding healthy garters to other animals. I know that we disagree on this subject and to each his own, but I'm not going to be silent
I'm sorry if this offends you but I couldn't let your comment sit.

It was a long time ago. I wouldn't intentionally use them as food anymore. I just didn't have anything else for my kingsnake at the time. I'm not offended. It happened and I'm not ashamed of it.

I get scolded by people all the time for feeding rodents to my snakes too and they would be just fine with it if I fed them other snakes instead. Unlike those people, I am unbiased. I say it makes no difference if you're feeding them rodents or other snakes but no matter how much sense I make, their attitude remains biased in favor of the mice because "that's different"

My girlfriend actually has your same feelings when it comes to the worms, fish, and mice being fed to my garters.(but you say that's different) I just tell her something is going to get eaten or the snake starves. Either way, something has to die. She says it's not fair. I tell her I didn't make the rules and it works both ways because snakes don't have special rights under the rules. They end up as food sometimes too.

She doesn't like it one bit. She wishes they were vegetarians, but they're not so no matter what I feed them, somebody gets upset about it.

Seems to help if it's in the shape of a can. Anybody know where I can get canned snake food so it's shaped like a can when I offer it? Seems that people don't get as upset about that.
