Wow. You talked to a mod like this and called her baby doll, talk about disrespect. This entire thread has just become ridiculous. I do feed exclusively feed f/t but there are times when my snakes don't want f/t so I can and WILL feed live. There are people on here who have been raising snakes for a very long time and they feed live because it just works for them and some people don't have the time to thaw out feeders.
You are being very cruel and sadistic when you kill a feeder rat by whacking it against an object and Deborah is correct, you really have no business owning snakes. Heaven forbid you should have to take care of one of your snakes that has suddenly fallen ill, there is no telling how you would remedy such an issue. Would you whack that poor snake too instead of getting it the necessary treatment?!!
