I was palnning on adding that some sankes will need to eat live regardless in the last post put apparently it slipped my mind. I am a little offended by your statement. After re-reading it I can understand why, but I still don't find it fair that you make a statement like that about me without really knowing what i completly think. I was just advocating what works best for me and waht i think others should do. People are smart enough to know that just beacuse one person say ALWAYS OR NEVER, that it isn't 100% literally true. There are acceptions to everything and everyone knows that. I use words like that to express my firm OPINION, I am not using them as a literal statment. People are smart enough to know that, and saying it's a blanket statment it's liking telling everyone that they are too dumb to think for themselves, and that is wrong of you. I don't mind the fact that you put people some people may need to feed live, and it is good that you put people need to weigh the risks. It is a very true statment. But saying that i am blanketing a statement instead of just placing my firm opinion, is rude and judgemental. People need to study all options, angles, and opinions then figure out what will work best for their snake. Mine is just one of those opinions.
My post was not intended to offend you, but rather to point out that the forum as a whole supports the keeper's right to decide what works best for them. The following quote read as a blanket (bolded parts by me for emphesis)

And you should always feed your BP Frozen thawed, not live.
I respectfully disagree with that, as I only feed f/t to my kingsnake, and live to my balls.
