I suppose I should have swapped the NEVER for a GOOD reason to not feed live. I think in my origional post I said there are soem reasons where you have to do live (I know how heated this debate can be and I questioned if I should even post this). Although I havent considered the mass breeder situation, I still know of breeders with tonnes of snakes that still do frozen. And yes while in a human hand the bite is superficial think about how much smaller parts of the snake are. If the same bite was done to the snakes head it could very well go deep enough to do serious damage.
