That sickens me! Whatever floats your boat I guess...

I feed both live and f/t and I have only ever had one minor nip from a live rat. That has since healed over and is not even noticeable. 99% of the time the snake will do what it was meant to do by nature. If i do encounter a rat that seems like it could be a threat...I give it a quick thump, then let the snake take over. As long as a live feeding is properly supervised, there should be no worry a serious injury occuring.

I'll admit...watching the snake take live prey can be a rush, but please keep it as humane as possible.
