Does this mean people should not feed F/T?
The bottom line is to feed what works and what is convenient to the owner, but to do so RESPONSIBLY.
There is no Live vs F/T debate.
I feed over 100 of preys each month and none of my snakes ever sustained any injury.
Usually when there is a problem and a snake dies, it ultimately comes back down to the owner and his methods.
If done responsibly both live and F/T can be done safely, if done irresponsibly both can be dangerous.I need you to PLEASE tell me how the F/T killed the snake. Was it too big or something?! I don't know HOW someone could mess that up.. I mean.. come on..
I totally agree. I just don't feel safe doing it. I have to sometimes, but I try to avoid it. My mice bite me.. I don't want them to do the same to my snake..
Some people however, do not know how to feed live responsibly. Which is why, I recommend trying f/t or pk for beginners just because they may not know exactly what to do. If it doesn't work, and if they have future snakes more than likely it won't work once or twice, then they'll have to come onto a site like this and learn. :]
