Therefore, no one can state conclusively that either one is better than the other. There's no scientific study to back those claims up.

Gram per gram it's all the same, however on one end you do have to feed multiple preys on the other one is enough, it is really a matter of convenience for the owner.

The bottom line is feed what works for YOUR snakes and is convenient to YOU.

I feed both and while the vast majority eats rats I have 3 BP (out of 60+) that will have nothing to do with a rat.
