You really should rethink your purpose for owning a snake if you got it for the entertainment value. A starving dog could eat a cat and get plenty of nutrition that way, but are you going to stop feeding it dog food? No, b/c no one should be entertained by a creature getting slaughtered.
It really isnt more human. I think I would rather have the air squeezed out of me then slowly freeze to death.
I feed every 5-7 days depending on when my girl is hungry, and I feed live because i breed live mice. If my snake was an aggressive one, I would switch to ft just because it is supposed to make them less aggressive.
