Rmune, is that how you determine whether you will follow a law? whether or not you are going to get caught?
NO. It's not like that at all, I just like seeing the snake exhibit its natural instincts just like mr python said...dont assume things if u dont kno me

I dont agree with that. If our government imposed an absolutely ridiculous law that had nothing to do with the welfare of the people, lets say, no chewing bubblegum on sundays, I dont think I'd follow that law. just my

I feed live only being I think it's more natural for the snake, and easier on me. Supervised

Re: Live prey vs......
In your opinion, does live rats cause your balls to become aggresive? Cause that's the only concern i have had.

I have one that eats both and is a total sweetie, but I have another that will eat f/t only but is the only to take a bite out of me. (and likes to hiss at me if I disturb her royal highness) I think it boils down to the individual snake, not the feeding method.

My girl that I got about a month ago was raised on live prey so I really did not have a choice. I did try to feed her a frozen mouse once but she didnt even care about it. She likes moving targets...

yeah i would like to know that aswell
For me ive always fed frozen food to all my snakes except for one royal that would only take live for the first year i had him, i got him on to frozen though eventually and hes still a pig , i just prefer frozen as its easier for me , not that theres anything wrong at all with feeding live prey.
live feeding imo is totally natural and very interesting to watch as you get to see how the snake would hunt and react to there prey as they would in the wild. i see nothing wrong with it at all , its nature.. like it or not snakes are predators and very good at what they do
p.s i voted for the dosnt matter option

Re: Live prey vs......
I bought my boy Nag oh...in february I think it was, and was feeding him f/t with success, even though he was mostly dead when I got him. I got my baby girl Nagaina in may, and tried f/t with her with no success. I tried 3 weeks in a row to feed her f/t again with no success.
I went and got a live mousie and when i put it in her cage, she wasted no time at all before striking.
So I figured if I had to go to the pet store every week for nagaina, I might as well feed Nag live prey as well.
Nag got fat and Nagaina is growing like a weed, and I only feed them once a week to 10 days.
I happen to enjoy feeding live. *shrug* maybe I'm just weird that way.
I do protect the snaked from scratches and bites during feeding. I hold the tail and let it walk around for a minute, and usually no more than 30 seconds later, strike and coil. thats cool IMHO
