I really did not come on here to get into a long debate about the merits of f/t vs. live, so this will be the last response I post on this thread. In any case, there is nothing "natural" about placing a domesticated rodent in a small cage with a captive raised snake until the snake eats it, or for that matter raising color mutants that would never survive in the wild in artificially heated plastic tubs and incubating their eggs. Even if that were in any way "natural," who ever said natural is right? If being natural is so important, you shouldn't raise snakes in captivity at all, and probably shouldn't use vaccines or antibiotics on yourself. In the wild whatever helps a species survive will happen, but as reasoning humans, we can make choices about what happens in captivity. I always place the health and well-being of all animals that I take care of first, and that includes feeder rodents as well as snakes.
