April 21, 2012 Definitely Not Grass Fed
Inspired by the "April 25, 2011 Grass Fed?" image:
![]() Taken at a behind the scenes night at our local zoo. This freezer was full of all kinds of treats for the residents of the zoo. Very fun for my then-7-year-old sons!! In case you can't decipher what is in the bin: they are frozen mice. Instant snack food! Photo credit: California Mama |

My cousins had a Boa. One time we got a rat that the boa wouldn't eat so we put the rat in the freezer in box expecting it to curl up and freeze as they always did. The next day my aunt opens the freezer and is face to face with this large rat! He didn't freeze. He'd shredded his box and made a cozy nest. Then start chowing down on the various frozen goodies surrounding him.

My cow orker was telling me about his son's fondness for snakes and how he enthusiastically thaws out the mice to feed the thing.
Oh, boy.

I've heard a story about how a person's pet python was fed on frozen mice that had been re-warmed in the microwave, to the point it developed a Pavlovian reaction to the "bing" of the microwave, and this became a problem when they were using the microwave for anything else.
Hmm. It was funnier when I heard it.

Snakes eat meeces. Room temp not frozen. Seems to be logical to thaw them out, no?

Another rat story: I used to breed rats for my Boa. Rats being rats would sometimes have a population explosion. I'd freeze the rats and individually wrap them in little baggies then stack them like cord wood in the Garage Freezer. Well the garage was part of a studio we rented to college students. I was about 12? Anyway students being students the guy snoops in our freezer. One day I'm walking by and the guy is "pisssssT! Hey kid!!" ing at me. I come over to him not knowing what he wants, "yeah"? He drags me over to the freezer, opens it and points, sort of frantically, at the stack of nice straight, rolled-up rats with their tails sticking out neatly. He asks, "What are those!!??!". It just popped into my head as he asked. I answered, "Ratsickles". To keep him from seeing me break down in heaving laughter I didn't say another thing. I just turned and left. I'm sure he thought we were the Adams family. |

It picks up sound waves. It might have been responding to the clunk of the microwave door anyway.

From what I understand, snakes will pick up the vibrations of movement around them.
Which is different from hearing, say, a song on the radio. I don't claim full understanding. I just remember reading that they are not deaf, but not having an outer ear they rely on vibration more than sound. I admit the above may be mangled gobbledegook to someone who really understands this stuff and am happy to be corrected ![]()
