Is live feeding really that bad?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Still can't understand anyone feeding live . I'd feel so bad for the rodent so it won't be happening plus I've heard reports of mice age rats crying for ages whilst they're being constricted ( supposedly sounds like a human baby crying !) . Also I care far too much for my precious snakes to rusk them being bitten or scratched causing infections or worse and scarring . Check out the thousands of online photos of bitten / scratched snakes . Many lose an eye . Why on earth take the risk when you can defrost and simply heat up for ten seconds with a hair dryer ..

Just my take on things ..

Just as I predicted

So how many of your snakes have lost an eye because they have been feeding live, how many have scars, or infection? Oh yeah that's right none because you have ZERO EXPERIENCE feeding live, and yet you are still advocating the same thing based on hearsay and some 10 years old picture that people keep bringing back up and that do not even reflect live feeding.

Many lose their eyes? Funny I have fed well over 20000 live preys (probably more) in the past few years and everyone still have their eyes.

Bottom line what you feed YOUR animal is YOUR business, stop trying to scare people off based on what YOU believe, or fear or read. Try educating people instead and do so based on EXPERIENCE.
