What are the major risks? My red-tail has been fed frozen thawed since birth, but its starting to get more pricey just for a few medium-large mice, and I noticed that for 1 large rat petsmart seems to overprice them (In my opinion). I wanted to switch her over to live, slowly weaning her into it. But of course there's always the risk of parasites and sickness, since she has only been fed frozen, I'm fine not feeding her live but I feel it would be cheaper, but I don't want to risk her getting bit, scratched, or sick and not be able to pay the vet bill, sinceI have no idea what the vet bill for a reptile would cost.

If anyone can help me come to a final verdict on this before tomorrow (her feeding day) that would be great.
