    Not knocking your statement... makes a lot of sense and sounds like it's working great... While their are no major cons about feeding F/T...It has been proven that feeding live IS more nutritious if you consider the oxygenation of the blood, and the rest of the fluids in the body that are fresh and more beneficial for the snake. Not to mention that the act of the hunt is not only fun to watch... But also allows the snake to exercise a more natural behavior... Which I believe is also good for them. I have never heard of a snake being a scavenger in the wild... They are perdetory animals by instict and feeding pre killed I feel it does not allow them to exercise there natural born instict. Just my friendly oppinion.
