I feed live. I don't have to run to a supplier every week though, I breed my own. Which makes it super easy and convenient. I simply go in the room, grab a rat and go feed. If snake doesn't eat, rat goes into the next tub until somebody eats him. If nobody does, he goes back in the tank till next week. No wasted food for me. Frozen thawed is a pita, imo. Take the rats out, keep checking to see if properly thawed, then dink around doing zombie dances? Plus I don't have the freezer space to store dead rats. I'll pass. Live is what works for me and mine, and none of mine have a problem with it. I supervise so no accidents happen, and everything is fine, safe, and easy. Your snake is only going to get chewed up that bad if you aren't watching and leave a hungry grumpy feeder alone with him for awhile.
