it wont necessarily work. They should be alive. snakes love helpless, LIVING prey. Dont think theyd try to eat a cold drugged mouse.

That's what I was wondering. Does a creature who senses heat even see a cold dead mouse as food?

A friend of mine keeps a pair of snakes. He has to feed them live food, or they will not eat.

I dont know I am still left with the impression that the mice were 'drugged' and frozen till nearly dead.

I mean why bother to "fit them with cardboard wings"?

Yes I know what the press said.

Why do it at all? Part of the stimulus package? Wasted money.
