I feed F/T only. There are 2 reasons for this

1. The local pet shop charges $4-7 for a rat and they never have anything large. So as you can see I can do much better on Frozen online.

2. Well I simply prefer frozen. No need to breed (I don’t think the wife would want me breeding rats) no need to go out and buy them, wasting even more time at a pet shop that doesn’t know the difference between a ball python and a red tail boa.

Live has its purpose, let’s not forget ball pythons don’t go to a freezer in the wild.

My recommendation is try to get your animals on F/T, but if they refuse and prefer live then give them live.
