Thats actually the only ice I usually keep around.
But if you come to visit, I will make clean ice just for you .

Just hope I dont get them confused...



I actually keep all the frozen animals(frogs, fish, lizards, mice, rats) in a separate freezer in my garage.

Re: preservation

Of coarse! What else am I going to feed the lizard-eating snakes?
I prefer to freeze them first, so I dont have to deal with possibly tranfering mites to the snakes, since they are wild caught.
I usually only catch males, so I dont hurt the wild populations much.

Re: preservation

Ewwww... sorry but i think of them as more of pets than food... just like feeding snakes to king snakes... i guess i could get used to it if that's all that my snake would eat... but to me it's like feeding your cat to your dog...

Re: preservation

lizards are pets too, I have many, but if you want to keep the variety of reptiles that I keep, you have to accept that some of them dont eat mice. I do try to scent as many of them over to rodents as I can though.

LOL Just kidding. I'm annoyed at several of my cats this morning as they knocked over the only plant that I've ever gotten to survive in my care (a cactus named Bob) and broke his cool pot. I believe Bob will continue to survive, tho, despite my black thumb and rude cats.

Re: preservation

Bob will be fine.........cacti are tough, even for people with black thumbs!
Too bad about the cool pot though -- cats are so notorious for breaking all the favourite ceramic pieces in the house.
