WellWell, not much I can add since Deb pretty much said it all. Just going to add another who feeds live for a long time without ever having an issue. I feed F/T on occasion when I run short of feeders, but some of mine just won't take them, so they get live. And it's not for lack of trying, I get a lot of deals on snakes because they have feeding issues, or they are asf feeders, and I turn most of them into rat eating powerhouses. Just not all.
