Basically with any feeding method it's all about learning all you can about that particular feeding style and then being very observant of that specific snake and how it responds to the food offered and the style you offer it. You can harm a snake feeding f/t incorrectly. You can harm a snake feed p/k incorrectly. You can harm a snake feeding live incorrectly.

Most of the horror stories you hear about any feeding style, or pictures you see online of snakes chewed up by their live prey are more about the errors some human made than a problem with the predator/prey dynamic.

Learn all you can, ask all the questions you feel you need to ask, assess your particular snake, decide what feeding method works for you but more importantly what method works for that snake and also determine the availability of that prey for you to get in a top quality condition on a regular basis. Do all that and I'm sure you and your snake will do just fine.
