Wow, that was a really nice response. I can see you are going to be a true asset to the forum.
I asked a simple question but I see there is no simple answer. "Cause I want to" is a great answer though and certainly is doing what is best for your collection. Step outside the world of docile Ball Pythons and get a snake like the ones in my collection. I bet you will no longer "want to" feed that way.
Except when feeding live it is not the recommended method and is only asking for trouble. Not to mention the complete waste of time and energy.
I hope your response to me at least made you feel better.
