there is Nothing more ethical about feeding f/t vs live your delusional if you believe that, every point against live feeding is reliant on the owner being neglectful in the feeding process, as many pointed out in the live vs f/t they have been feeding live as long as they have had snakes and had no issues with prey attacking the snake, infact the cases are rare and most often completly the owners fault. Snakes can just as easily die from a neglectful owner feeding f/t food, snakes internals are extremly sensitive to cold and can easily become damaged by an improperly thawed f/t item and kill the snake.... feed your snake resposibly and you have no worries end of story
