I read one thread by a member here that feeds F/T but was able to obtain live only at one point. IIRC, she fed F/T because she was squeemish and so decided to let her snake do the job. Everything went OK but she noticed her BP was much more excited about taking his prey than usual.

I guess I'm kind of in "its the way its meant to be" camp. That being said, I feed my corn F/T because he just swallows his pinkies with no constriction - live or dead. With him, F/T just feels right so I do it despite the fact it grosses me out. But, with my two pythons, live definately feels right. Everytime I feed I feel a bit sorry for the prey and I fret a bit for my snakes, but that doesn't really make me want to switch.
