my housemate has just gotten a childrens python and is intending to feed it live animals because she can t be arsed killing them and nowhere in our area sells frozen. I am a BIG animal lover and have rats of my own- so I have naturally got a problem with this.
I said I d personally kill the live mice if it means they are killed humanely. So what is the most humane way to kill them; freezing or co2 suffocation from dry ice?
and I m NOT going to use a hammer or break its neck as I ve seen this go wrong on various animals countless times.
to will E Coyote: yes I know I m talking about killing it so it doesn t have to get fed live. what the other person was talking about is just silly- cruel and in no way natural.
I personally think people s arguments that live food is more "natural" is utter crap- as if they were truelly concerned with keeping to the laws of nature they would not be keeping such a wild and untamable animal in a glass cage for viewing anyways. I don t geddit.
My housemate has already gotten the snake- and the argument was that if I m allowed rats she should be allowed a snake.
as much as I d hate to do it I feel alot better about handelling the killing of the rodents myself if it s more humane. CO2 does sound like it s probably the best option.

thanks
saucy: thanks I didn t know that about freezing them. alot of people tend to think it is humane. I suppose they assume prepackaged frozen mice were killed that way.
and I ve seen plenty of reptiles kill live prey- including crocodiles eat bush turkeys as I live in the middle of a rainforest. it is just nature- but I am not going to condone the suffering of a living animal if it is in a situation where it could be killed humanely.

I have a baby ball python in a 60x45x45 terrarium- is this too big.

I thought it was illegal? What should I do to stop it- the poor puppies looked half dead and were shivering.
I also saw a ball python crammed in a foot long cage with a tiny water dish and that angered me too- because I have a ball python and I d hate if someone treated him like that.
And on top of that- they had baby bunnies/guinea pigs in an open cage where you could reach in and pet them and the poor things were huddled in a corner.
Is there anything I can do to get them at least out of the mall? It s terrible.

what are there uses also tell me the uses of java c c++ and vb
which should i learn first to be a programmer so that i can create any software can they be helpful to create os.....thx a lot for reply

Hello- I am learning Python- and ran into a bit of code that didn t make sense to my non-Python enlightened mind.

>>> def fib(n): # write Fibonacci series up to n
... """Print a Fibonacci series up to n."""
... a- b = 0- 1
... while b < n:
... print b-
... a- b = b- a+b

My issue is with the assignment statement within the while loop. Will both b and a+b be evaluated before any assignment is made? I ve tried thinking about the code as
a = b
b = a + b
and as
b = a + b
a = b

Both of those would create flawed algorithms- so am I correct in assuming that the assignments are not made until ALL of the expressions are evaluated?
