Thats great I think P/K and F/T are the best choices, its the safest way and not to mention a heck of alot easier....

and well I hate rats! I don't want to handle a live one, or atleast give a live one a chance to bite at the snake!
Well if your going to be feeding P/K then you will kinda have to "handle a live one" becuase you have to go out get it , come home and kill it

Have you ever thought about Frozen food ? its so much easier to stock up than to go out everytime you need a rat and come home and kill it yourself.
