    Re: snake got bit

    I am not saying f/t is worse than feeding live, or feeding live in better than feeding f/t nutritionally, but its truely sad that some people think they have to take away these animals instinct to kill its food to eat. It's not something you have to do, and honestly you shouldn't feed f/t if you have the time to feed live.
    So it takes longer to drop a rat in the cage then prepare a f/t? You know they actually have to be thawed, right? And then after thawing for over an hour they have to be re-heated.

    I promise you, they don't lose the instinct if you feed with hemostat or tongs. Watch some of the BHB videos of them feeding their large pythons f/t rabbits.

    I CHOOSE to feed f/t, but NOT because it's easier or by any means quicker. I do it because people I respect in the snake world tell me to feed f/t.
