    Why? So you're not given some rats that appear to have been killed incorrectly and poorly packaged?

    I've used a few sources for my frozen feeders and since they were reputable places I have had no complaints or quality issues.

    Whenever someone says live is this or that it makes me picture myself trying to feed my big Blood her XXL rat and each time I come to the same conclusion, which is that would be a terrible experience for all three of us, that being me, my snake, and the opossum sized rat.

    The BRB I own was bought from a family whose kid lost interest. He is a great snake and super inquisitive but the previous owner feed live (because that's all he'll eat) and the rat chewed a hole in the snake(silver dollar size). Luckily they had a good vet but the snake still carries the scar. Now while you're going to say "but they weren't watching close enough," and I agree. How long does it take for a large rat to do damage before you can stop it? I'm not willing to risk that.

    I'll just keep buying from reputable businesses.
