    A live rat is only harmful if you leave it alone and unattended with a snake.

    ya...but you also suggested that she stop feeding her snake f/t and buy live and prekill them...?? anyone that has read through the posts on here or spoken to a breeder knows its more cost efficient to feed frozen/thawed if your snake will eat them. which the op has clearly stated that her snake would.

    No, that is what I said. You just said you sit there and watch them eat.

    Lol...it may be a lost cause...someone should tell him you can only back-peddle so much before you hit the side of the pool......

    Like I said...I just hope the original poster figures out who's advice to take around here

    no you quoted me saying that .. obviously that means im watching my snakes eat live which means if something happens im right there ... but whatever ... the way i see it feed your snakes what they will take ... none of my snakes will take anything but live so i have no choice

    and just for further measure i was answering ballmom's question on why not just feed live ... i simply told the op that they didnt have to do frozen just incase the F/T became a later issue ... a hungry snake will eat whatever it can including F/T but on a regular feeding scheduel who is to say it will still take it
