I just don't understand how any snake keeper can have a problem feeding live. If they keep snakes and have never had to feed live they are either new to the hobby or have not had enough snakes.
I've been keeping snakes for 20 years. My collection has ranged from just 2 or 3 to almost 300 at any given time. Ive kept everything from corn snakes to retics, and arboreal vipers to gaboon's. So I thinks it's safe to say that I have a fair amount of experience. And honestly I can't recall a single snake in all this time that has refused to eat f/t feeders. I've had animals that for a time I've had no choice but to feed live, so I have done it when necessary. But with a little effort I've never come across one that can't be converted, even many that I have been told will not ever eat f/t. I don't disagree with feeding live. I just don't understand why anyone would she f/t is so much safer and convenient.
