The Live vs F/T debate

[SCWood]

All I've ever done is feed Demi, my Ball Python, live mice. I think its cruel that people would heat up dead mice! She has never skipped a meal. She eats every Monday. Right on time.

Lol I never thought either way was cruel because I was taught to respect life in all it's forms. Not saying it's definitely not weird and sometimes it still throws me off a bit but I just find it easier than live partly because if they don't eat it, there's a 50/50 chance someone else will or it can be refrozen! I am always grateful for what I have for myself and my babies, so if I take on live mice for feeding, I talk to them the whole ride home and give them tidbits of crackers or carrots and then I make sure they go quickly...meaning if my snake wants to play games and just scare them, I remove them quickly. It sounds odd and seems morbid, but I feel like all walks of life need to be treated humanely but also I understand the circle of life and what I need to do to keep it going.
