You got it in one!!! I didn't say I wasn't one of the saddists that likes to watch innoccent animals die, cause I love it.Death is death. Look at the post earlier tonight on how hard it can be to kill rodents, IMO snakes can kill them alot faster than a botched attempt. What about all these people who open the rodent freezer to find a cranky rat sitting there ready to jump out and it's been in the freezer all nite???mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
