I'm sure this topic has already been covered here many times, but please indulge me as I'm a relatively new snake owner...

The word is that feeding live mice makes the snakes more aggressive. True? What if I feed the mice to the snakes in a separate container than their regular cages?

I realize that mice can fight back and possibly injure a snake, but I also hear that the lab mice are far less aggressive than wild ones- which is what I'd be using.

Potential pros and cons?...
  • live mice are easier than thawing/dangling?
  • live mice make the snake more aggressive
  • live mice can hurt the snake
  • the snake enjoys eating live mice more?
  • etc.?

Thanks!
