Lots of pluses, first of all, a mouse or large rat can injure your snake,it might not happen, but the possibility is there. Live prey can have parasites,Also, , it is SOOOOO convenient to have the frozen rats, as I use for mine , in the freezer. I have a years worth, vacuum sealed. I have 9 snakes, including 4 BP , and they do great on the F/T rats. I would NEVER go to live feeding. I feed all in their cages. I put the F/ T rat into a big cup, or bag, and the snake goes right in, eats , and that's that. I regularly hold my snakes(not before or after feeding of course), and all are as gentle as can be.
