Question/survey about feeding pre-killed

[candyraver69]

I have seen similar posts all over the web about this subject but wanted some detail that wasn't provided. If this topic has been beaten to death, I apologize.

What is your proffered way to feed your snake: A. thawed frozen or B. freshly pre-killed

If you pre-kill your own food what method do you use: A. spinal dislocation B. freezing live C. CO2 D. other (please specify)

If you purchase frozen where do you get it: A. pet store B. online retailer C. other (please specify)

If you pre-kill your own where do you get them: A. pet store B. breed your self C. other (please specify)

Overall what type/sizes do you feed monthly between all of your snakes (example 4 mouse pinkies a month or 30 mouse pinkies, 30 adult mice, 30 medium rats)?

If you had a friend that bred pet rats and was willing to give you frozen rats or mice that were fed a very high quality diet and put down humanely with co2 then frozen, would you prefer this over your current method? For people with a large amount of snakes that need a huge quantity this may apply to only cutting down on the amount you get another way rather than replace it.

The morals of such things have been beat to death, so I'd rather not start an argument about that. I want to leave it simply as a survey to see which types of people with snakes would find such a thing as a convenience (some free healthy food) and which are very comfortable with their current practices.

Thank you for your time.
