#2273403 Norf View Profile	Message To: Kelso reptiles   In reference to Message Id: 2273401  Bitten by adult mouse I buy frozen rodents only. Wouldn’t risk feeding any of my monitors large live rodents. Commercially bred mice have been bred for thousands of generations in captivity. There is no way they’ll pass a disease worth worrying about through a bite. Worry more about a bite from your Niloticus, yikes!
