If I'd even had one bite in 3000, that would make the odds of being bit an .03% chance. I'll take those odds any day. Live feeding is not as inherently dangerous as some people would have you believe if done responsibly.

The average American makes 50,000 car trips in his/her lifetime. Based on this average, the odds of being killed in a car accident are 1 in 140.

If and when I get into a car accident, I doubt I'll start walking.

We all take calculated risks. It's not been my experience, or those of countless other breeders who feed live routinely that a bite is rare.

With that said, each owner should choose what works best for them and their snakes.
