I feel like the debate is going no where. I'm pretty sure I've had the same one w/ you before on a different thread MrLang.
The argument sounds fairly familiar.
I've said my thoughts. You've said yours. And I don't think either of us will budge from our opinions.
I'll still feed my snakes live because I truly believe the majority of them won't switch to f/t. I already have some picky eaters that barely take live half the time. I'm lucky those individuals even eat.
If f/t works for you. Great. Live works for me. That's great too.
Random note:
Its funny because I have a single ferret who will not eat f/t prey only fresh(pre-killed/live). My other two will eat any sort of prey (frozen, pre-killed, live, whatever), but the odd one just doesn't want anything to do w/ frozen. Maybe frozen smells funky to her? Or perhaps the texture is different? I really don't know. This has nothing to do w/ snakes, but thought it was interesting to add anyway.
