Live food...why? Honestly & with facts!

[Skiploder]

-__- I'm making the point that if we prefer our food fresh why feed our animals something they might not like and isn't natural to them just cause its cheaper or more convenient to us? Don't give them any less then you yourself would prefer.

Do ball pythons have taste buds?

If so, what are they used for?

After you've done the research and answered these two questions, ask yourself this:

Does fresh really matter to a ball python? If so, as opposed to what?

Then, will a ball python be able to discern the difference - with it's "palate" - between a live prey item and a f/t one sufficiently heated up?

Once you've done that research, we will then have something interesting to discuss. Until then, we don't.
