Well yeah the risk is there, however, it rarely happens. and when it does, it's usually not bad. A lot of the horror stories you will see are from rodents that are left in with the snake for days at a time with no supervision. There are thousands of people that feed live, every day. and there are thousands upon thousands of captive snakes that eat live, every day..and with no incident.

You just have to keep an eye on your animal to make sure everything goes well.

the key thing is to do whatever works for you. If it's f/t, then there's nothing wrong with that. If it's live, then there's nothing wrong with that either.

I can't speak for big breeders with literally hundreds or thousands of snakes...but with those numbers, I can't imagine how they thaw that many rodents each week. Maybe some have it down to a work of art....I have no idea...it'd be interesting to see if they did.
