there would be too many variables in the F/T vs live (as far as nutrients) . if you was to do a true study, there would need to be atleast 8 groups (each of posibally 10) broken into fours ie.. 3 "LIVE" groups (with one being a control) and 3 "F/T" groups (with one group being a control)... shew i think i got that right..... any way,, thats alot of snakes. maby theres some studieds that have been done on humans that might reflect the differences,,,, but i persionally doubt that any of this matters. one might compair a F/T fed snake beside a LIVE fed snake and could never tell the difference,,,,,, and as far as i know, what prey the animal has been fed has no reflection on the value of the animal,,,, so once again,, i persionally doubt that any of this matters.
