For me, I feed live, for my benefit and my snake's. I'm a college student, I have a disability and am in the process of training a service dog and of course I take care of myself. I don't really have time to thaw the rat, spend more time properly heating it(which I sucked at) and then trying to get Khaa to eat it, which he may or may not. Khaa also eats very well on live. He never refuses live, except winter fast of course. I can just drop the rat in there , wait for him to grab it safely(never takes more than a minute), and go.
I feed F/T rats to my ball. She is a really good eater. I take it out defrost in cold water. Takes seconds and I leave it for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Hot water for fifteen minutes. I am not very experienced and probably would get stressed of an injury if I fed live.
