    Do you Prefer Live or Frozen?

    I'm sure this has been asked over and over lol But i wanted to be special! So what do you suggest? Pros and cons? Where is the best place to buy live or frozen feeders? Mice or rats, what is more nutritious? Is it better to breed your own? Thanks

    yes this will be a subject that will always raise tempertures in opinions and beliefs so my advice would be go with your heart make a decision based on how you feel about it because truth be told the snake will eat either at the end of the day.

    I feed live and frozen.
    Imo live is a little more costly. My adult will only eat live and my local pet store is 6$ a rat.
    My young guys just switched to f/t and its cheaper because you can buy in bulk.

    I feed every snake that will take it f/t. I always used to feed live. But f/t is easier for me because my schedule changes often and it's much easier for me to go to the freezer and let a rat thaw than it is for me to drive to the petstore before 7pm when it closes. Also, f/t ends up being cheaper per rat. However, I currently only have one snake eating f/t. I will be switching my mojo over next week though after I pick up some f/t rat pups from the show.

    I thought about breeding my own too, but they can be costly little buggers. They go through food and bedding like nobody's business! lol. It's a personal preference really. Whichever works best for you and your snake.
