ugh...I feel like I have written this a thousand times....again this is my opinion
Pros-
1. it is easier for me...I do plan on getting many more BP's by the end of the year and eventually am planning to breed my own
2. I like going to the store to pick up feeders each week...it is fun for me to check out their new stuff....play with their tegu for a while...and talk to the owner about what she has seen around
3. I think thawing mice is gross....I really don't want 10-15 soggy mice laying around while I wait for them to get the right temp.
4. My 83 yr old Mom lives with us...and though she is hip to the snakes...she has opened the bag by accident grabbed one of the mice and freaked
5. I personally think that live has better nutrients due to not being frozen. And I do not really know when this rodent was frozen. I have to rely on the person I bought it from to tell me that and hope they are being honest.
6. There have been tragedies feeding FT as well as live. The nails of the FT do not have the give that live does...therefore it has been known at times to cause internal injuries.
7. It takes less time for me overall to do it this way and less messy. Get em...put em in the critter carrier...feed them off....clean out the carrier...done.
8. My personal opinion is it is much more natural for them.
That is all I can think of now.....but I am sure I will think of more. Again...I don't give a poo what anyone else does....I am not here to convince anyone. However with that being said...it gets really really old when some ppl that do feed F/T push it so much.
