My main concern is this: Should we hold out for a f/t eating snake from another, possibly unknown source, or a live eating snake from a trusted source?

Always go with someone you can trust and that have healthy well started animalsthat are provided with proper care (Avoid pet store because often husbandary is not right, BP are not always healthy or well started)

Whether the animal feed live or F/T it is up to you and if you buy a BP that feed live you can still try to convert to F/T down the road if this is what you want.
