I've had my bp for a few weeks now and wednesday will be the third time feeding him. I keep hearing that it's bad to feed live to your snake, especially since he's still just a little guy, because there's a chance that the mouse will fight back and could hurt him. I was thinking about maybe feeding him live this week, but wanted an opinion first. I thought to myself that maybe if I keep feeding fresh killed for too long, that when he is big enough to handle a live mouse that it would throw him off. I'm just looking for an opinion on whether to feed live or fresh killed. also if you think it's better to feed a fresh killed mouse to your bp, how do you kill them, they say do it as humanely as possible and i found this video...

YouTube - pre kill mouse, feed corn snake

is that how you would do it?

of course the pet store i bought the last two mice from, the workers were telling me to kill it in ways that aren't too humane, as in, beating it on a table or wall, or throwing it across the room, butttt i'd rather let my bp do the killing if he's ready...what do you guys think?
