Any reason behind feeding live snakes vs. F/T?
I personally don't feed live but its a decision as a snake owner they can make. Live is more dangerous but if done responsibly, it is ALMOST as safe as f/t. There is always the risk the mouse or rat will bite back in the split second it takes to react.
Also, some balls are just too picky and refuse to eat dead prey. For some its just easier to feed 1000+ mice a week VS. thawing them out then feeding.
Lets not let this get out of hand, keep it civilized
