| Yes I make coffins for mine as well funny but I have pet mice and when they die they get the same treatment even though I could feed them to my snakes but they are my pet so I can't do it |

| i would be the same. I used to have rats. Albino of course! (slight albino addiction :P) But if i ever had a snake at the same time as having them and they needed food i could never do it. Not jus because im sure its illegal in the uk to offer live food such as small animals as a meal. But because i get to attached. |

| Ewwww, and he's got a frozen royal up as well. Is is just me, or do the actual stuffed ones (rather than the frozen snakes) look decidedly, er... rubbish? Or is it just I'm not in the habit at looking at stuffed animals?! Scary what else comes up if you put taxidermy in the search bar as well :( |

| Suppose if you need to practice taxidermy why not use a snake or any other animal for that matter. Not my cup of tea but can't knock people for their interests. How many people think we are crazy keeping snakes? |

This. Also baby corns are often used to get snake eating snakes feeding.
It's pretty much how mouse and rat breeders see snake owners, who feed frozen mice and rats to their pets... |

I have no issues with it, a snakes life is no more important than the rats or mice we used to feed them or any other creature.
There are only two certainties in life, death and taxes and animals are lucky as they don't have to pay tax |

both good points, it has to be said I find the thought of feeding gerbils or hamsters off putting but that said I have always kept gerbils and hammys,I can't say as am that keen on the idea of hatchie corns as food either but again it comes down to having them as pets. There are always going to be things that make us uncomfortable it's the nature of life. |

Don't see the problem? I mean, you feed your snakes frozen mice :s in a lot of peoples eyes, there is no difference to what you do to what that guys trying to do. Although the mice you buy will be eaten doesn't mean it's any more justified to some than a frozen snake that could be eaten, stuffed or pickled.
Frozen for snakes eating snakes is common. The guy who ran the King Cobra place in Notts before he died always tried to get dead baby corns and other hatchlings for the little cobras to eat. As with how of you have stated/reacted, not everyone would be happy to give away a dead hatchlings to be eaten so maybe sometimes there is a market and a need for this sort of thing.
End of the day, you don't know where he got them from, perhaps they were "pets" they could have been from a zoo or a collation.
If dead snakes aren't allowed on ebay, then they better take away the mice, and the live bugs if they still allow them for sale on there :p
