Please forgive the question, but a clerk at the place where I buy my feeder rats suggested that feeding live prey rather Frozen/Thawed to my bp is better for the snake's well-being. Specifically, he said that snakes who receive F/T tend to be "more depressed." Has anyone else heard anything like this or does anyone have scientific data supporting such a claim? I've always heard that feeding non-live is better, since it reduces the potential for injury to the snake.

Thanks!
