Thats for your benefit then - not the animals

If you can get it onto either fresh killed or frozen thawed then you remove any concerns about the prey attacking the snake.

Yea there's a chance for something to happen but my self in over 3 years I never seen a snake get hurrt with my own eyes just like when some one uses calci sand for substratea for a desert snake sure if u feed on the sand something could happen they live on sand in the wild and do just fine there's always a chance of something to happen

That doesn't mean it won't happen. Honestly, it just takes a split second for a live prey item to injure a snake, much faster than our reaction time to respond to the incident.

As Shaun recommends, feed it live for the next 4-5 feedings, then go to fresh killed for the next 5, and if that is successful, switch to F/T.

No matter how remote or likely it is to happen if there is a possiblility to remove ALL risk then i dont see any reason why you wouldnt. My animals all mean to much to me to have the risk there in the first place.

A few reason my breeder who runs a reptile store is like a 5 minute walk from me so why buy frozen and Jessica won't let me keep mice in the freezer even if there in bgs and final reason is it just the natural way the snake eats
