I don't think feeding live is ALWAYS bad, so I hope nothing I said came off like that.. I'm not sure to what extent his snake is getting bit, but if it is A LOT, then maybe switching to FT or PK is best. I agree that they have the natural instinct to hunt, and I plan on trying it when I am able to get my first one. I think it all depends on the snake and what's best and safest for him/her. I was just clarifying what I said, because I was hoping what I said wasn't misunderstood. I'm not bashing anyone for feeding live.
