-Smiles.- Welcome to the wonderful world of live feeding.

1. As far as I know, you can volley back and forth, but I think that you want to get into a routine of choosing one or the other for your snake.
2. I don't see why you can't keep feeding live. Just make sure that you're there watching the entire feeding. Make sure that you don't leave him for the door or for a video game or anything like that. Please.
3. -Smiles.- I get enjoyment out of seeing my snakes feed because it proves to me that they're healthy, that they're energetic, that they're vibrant and living life to the best I can give them. I like that feeding response. I'm sure people who feed their snakes frozen/thawed see it too, and that's great, but I found that feeding live was what was best for my snakes. Mayhap it'll be what's best for Monty.
