Split from Scaleless BP - Feeding Live Debate

[rabernet]

A snake will eventually get hungry enough and take f/t. If not...
Freshly killed √

Not all of them will.

Feeding live is a stupid idea for any snakes

I guess I'm stupid then. That's all I feed. 20k live feedings and counting.

I wish I could click the thanks button more than once. I guess he is saying that for millions of years snakes have been eating wrong.

I have a feeling he's never heard the old saying "You learn more from listening than talking".

Then he should be forced to wear a disclaimer around the site.

I think the main reason this gets under my skin is that I think about someone totally new to the hobby, who comes here to read and soak up useful information, reading his posts and getting them confused with ACTUAL. EXPERIENCE, when in reality, he's pulling things out of left field. It's a bit unnerving to see someone with such little experience to basically already regard themselves as the all-knowing expert because they've had a couple snakes in a sock drawer for a few months.

I couldn't agree more...especially with the bolded part...

And here we go again with the idiotic statement that has nothing to do with facts.

And you came to this conclusion after owning a few snakes for 7 months.

How much experience do you have about live feeding?

How many severe incidents have you personally experienced?

Live feeding just like F/T feeding is about knowledge which in this case you are obviously lacking.

Yes you are entitled to your opinion however it is not based on any fact that can back your opinion.

Live or F/T I really don’t care I feed mainly live (only a few thousands of prey each years) and I also feed F/T to some animals or when I have surplus.

Again feeding is about being knowledgeable and responsible (even F/T has it’s risks) not about being force into something because of fears or idiotic statements.

Not true. And I'd NEVER be willing to find out
