This is our corn snake, "Colonel" (get it?) eating his weekly mouse.
Snakes have to eat too, you know.

We only feed him dead mice.

If they are fresh killed (still warm) he usually goes right for them. The one in the picture is thawed from our freezer, and sometimes he doesn't act interested.

You would giggle more if I had a movie of the process: I'm using the tongs to jiggle the mouse, an activity I've given the technical term "meat puppet."
