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

Natural would be if the prey had a chance to escape, the only choice it has is die or fight back.

+ if the snake had to actually search and hunt for it... not just have it tossed in a small area for an obvious find

Valid point, my friend. Never thought of it like that.

However, I still think both methods are "safe", as long as done correctly.

Sometimes you have no option but to feed live if your snake does not eat f/t or p/k.
