Is it cruel to feed a snake live prey?

It depends on your point of view. Animal rights followers think it's cruel - HOWEVER - in their natural environment, snakes do NOT consume carrion. They only eat what they have killed themselves. Compare the death of a rat killed by a snake - with the death of a rabbit targeted by a fox...

The snake strikes at the rodent, instantaneously 'wrapping' the rat in its coils. As the rat breathes out, the snake tightens its grip - and the process is repeated until the rat is dead. The whole process takes less than 10 seconds - and the rat certainly has no idea what's happened ! Now - the rabbit being hunted by the fox - is chased over a longer period of time (often for many miles). The fox simply runs the rabbit until it collapses from exhaustion (the rabbit runs out of fear for its life). Once caught, the fox rips the rabbit apart (sometimes the rabbit is still alive).

What kind of spider makes two bites close together?

Most spiders who's bite is capable of penetrating human skin, make two puncture marks close together, as this is the way that their jaws are structured- they are called mandibles, and are shaped like opposing prongs that clench together horseshoe-fashion, a bit like the way some sorts of pliers are shaped. But in many cases, the bite is so small that it's difficult to see the two separate puncture marks- it all looks like one unless seen under a magnifying glass. It should be mentioned though, that although most big tarantulas and bird-eating spiders can inflict a sharp bite, very few if any of the big species are poisonous to humans- it is the smaller varieties, such as the North American Black Widow and the Australian Funnel Web, whose bite is dangerously venomous.
