Feeding gecko to Sand Boa

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Your actually on this forum and you fed a gecko to a snake? What were you expecting the members of this site to say when you posted this exactly?
 
I see n problem with feeding a lizards to a snake .what?? a rat is a lesser lifeform deserving to be used as pet food?? only thing i dont like is lets all hope that geckos was parasite free .
 
The gecko was obviously not bred to be a feeder was it? The gecko was probaly fine unill this dude got a hold of it and gave it to his snake for no good reasons apart from fo his own amusement, afterall it was "cool"
 
I would say it was a need less kill and a good way to get your sand boa infected with any parasites the gecko could be carrying. You guys some times do stuff that makes me wonder what are you thinking.... I would gladly have taken the litle gecko of your hands and give it a good home.

If this is meant towards me i guess my point was not understood .

of course one was breed to be a feeder and the other was not , but still neither deserve it . the actual feeding im not against if done for the right reasons .for someones amusement if not a good reason , solely as a feeder im fine with .just becouse we keep them does not ethically make them above any other animal. i feed my animals mice,rats,hamsters ,roaches,mealworms and pill bugs . neither for my amusement but for the plain act of dinner.
 
Wow, how cool, your bro's GF was too lazy to care for her animal, so you killed it for no reason. People doing stupid crap like that (and finding it amusing) give REAL Herpers, who care for their animals and respect all living things, a bad name. As someone who has a House Gecko, and who spent 2 hours two weeks ago removing one from a glue trap, I take offense to that. That's one of the reasons that certain people should not own animals.

Oh, I might mention, I have a Sand Boa, and a House Gecko, and I never considered doing that.
:mad:

Thanks for that.

If the Sand Boa was eating otherwise, I see no reason to give it a live Gecko. And one that was a pet at somepoint? I would crack up if it came back to bite the OP in that his snake no longer ate mice, and only took live Lizards from now on. Can you say $12 a feeding?


Edit: Oh wow! You said you would adopt it because she didn't want it! Even better!! So you volunteered to take in her pet, and then fed it to your snake!! You're something else, man... you really are... (to the OP, not you, ozz)

Would be funny if it became stuck on geckos .as for a pet no i would not feed a pet to an other im merely saying rat vs gecko there both the same , but there are many reason not to feed the gecko off.


as for volunteering to care for it and feeding it off , yea thats a messed up thing to do .
