I'll answer this like I've answered before.

  • F/T is only feasible in bulk. I don't have the space to store F/T in bulk.
  • Thawing and warming is time consuming and has to be done just right.
  • Refreezing and rethawing can be problematic.
  • Most importantly, only one of my snakes will give the time of day to F/T.


Live just makes more sense for me in feasibility. The snakes readily eat them and when refused I can put them in a holding tank till next week.

If you feed appropriately sized prey and don't leave them alone for hours then there's no real risk to the snake. I give them 30 mins tops with me there then they get taken out.
