I've been doing this for 22 years. At the beginning I fed only live for several reasons. As I've said repeatedly I DO feed live. I, too, have only had a handful of incidents with live. On the other hand I've had 0 incidents with f/t. I've been part of three herp societies and been on various forums since they've existed (Since what 97-98?) I've never even heard second hand of anyone screwing up f/t. I know it happens, that's why it's written about in books and magazines. You have no basis for your view on f/t accidents happening as much as live feeding, it is not a fact.
