Depends on the snake I suppose. Boas get F/T or fresh killed rats, colubrids get pre-killed or stunned mice (some feed on pinks) and my crotes get live mice. My garters are on a diet of fish, and occasional pinks and frogs. Everything is just thrown into cages, or removed into seperate feeding boxes, for the ones with aspen substrate.

I feed my boa either F/T or PK rats by hand (I hold the tail). I know it is an accident waiting to happen.
