So out of curiosity I figured I would ask a simple question.

Live feeding vs frozen feeding? I would love to hear some interesting information I may or may not currently know.

As for my personal opinion, I am a firm believer in live feeding after I rescued my boy Larry. I had never had a snake before and at the place I worked a ball python with a tank and the whole kit and kaboodle was brought in and surrendered. As an employee I was offered to take him home for free. My manager told me nobody else would because he was too big and too much was unknown. So I decided I will take him and suddenly I have a full grown male ball python in my bedroom. It was mid-winter at this point and according to his old owner he hadn't eaten in 4 months. After spending a month or 2 trying frozen he refused and started losing weight. At this point I was very against live feeding but I didn't know what else to do. So i bought him his rat and dropped it in. Instantly he killed it and has not refused a single live rat since. He is actually in progress of nomming one down as I type this. Yes, I am aware winter fasting is common in ball pythons but his weight loss was alarming and the vet said I needed to assist feed or try live.
