I would say a good majority of people feed live. You will always have the people saying that you should never fed live because it's so dangerous. It's really not, as long as you aren't dumb about it. You can't leave a rodent in with your snake hours on end and not expect things to go wrong. Rodents have a very high metabolism and will eat the closest source of food when they get hungry, your snake. Don't keep a rodent with your snake more than 15-30 minutes and you will be fine. The only bites I have gotten, were from medium-large rats, they have a lot more strength to bit through the snake's skin. I am going to pick up some large frozen rats at the next snake show to feed the large snakes that will take f/t just to help avoid that. Plus it will be a little easier for me to keep up with the large snake since I go through so many rats every week to keep up with the youngsters.

Other than that, it's up to you and what you want to do. It's not all that dangerous to feed live, but you will get bites here and there. Most of the time the bites don't need any care other than a clean cage. I have had one bite that I cleaned up, but it healed within a couple days.
