Really? Really? You are calling the many knowledgeable people on here that breed and keep snakes stupid???? Well, then I guess I must be stupid too because I have fed live prey in the past with no issues. I have also fed f/t to snakes that would readily accept it. You are a total newbie and for you to come on here and preach about what feeding method people should not do is just ignorant. Calling people stupid is really unnecessary and makes an ass out of you. Some folks have been keeping snakes for a very long time and I would trust their methods and information before I would even think of taking your advice. Grow up and when you can learn to play nice with others, then open your mouth.
