The feeding tub is for the well-trained adult because she's used to it.

And I think it's pretty dishonest to suggest that prey constricted by a python doesn't suffer. I don't see how you can hear them scream when they are grabbed and kick for a minute afterward and come to the conclusion that they're not suffering. I do think there is a mental resistance to feeling as if you're responsible for an animal's suffering, because nobody wants to feel like a bad person, which is understandable. However, it is better to acknowledge that yes, being constricted by a python is not the most humane death, but sometimes it is necessary to keep the snakes healthy. People need to be adults and acknowledge what they're doing rather than bash anyone who suggests that f/t is a more humane alternative to live feeding. I am not suggesting that anyone change their own feeding methods, but just providing justification for my own. It's pretty well established that f/t is preferable to live when possible (keyword when possible). It may be easier to get untrained ball pythons to eat live, but that doesn't mean f/t isn't superior to live feeding in many other ways.
