I'd just like to say I'd call anyone an idiot in person too and that they should refrain from keeping animals.

I feel the same way. I don't say anything online I wouldn't in person, then again I tend to be rather blunt with people if they screw up.

I think plenty of people in this thread have showed character flaws. I cant believe how quickly 6 pages of apex and others bitched back and forth about live feeding.
the OP asked a simple question. I'd be surprised if he sticks around or even listens to anyone now because of how immature everyone looks in this thread.
Apex - Check your ego at the door once in a while. You wont get anywhere in life being a stubborn bitch
Everyone else arguing w/ him: Don't feel the troll. You're at fault as much as he is.
Also in apex's defense, I believe English isn't his first language, I know I cant speak German as well as he speaks (maybe types?) English.
Alessia - thanks for actually replying to the OP.. after a few pages or so of people being stupid.
Thats all im saying, not checking this one anymore.

English is my 2nd language would help if my phone had spell check and I get plenty far enough in life so I have an ego but if people don't like it than get over it

Re: f/t or live
I just want to put this out there and clear something up. I don't know about you skumbo but personally I have no desire to feel Teddy.

Re: f/t or live
Wayne, clean this thread up please
All I can say is everyone has their own preference, I dont see the need to force an opinion on someone else. I have said this before and I will say it again, Live and Frozen Thawed are BOTH safe options IF DONE CORRECTLY. I feed both because some of mine will not take f/t and I have yet to encounter any problems, nor do I anticipate any in the future because I make sure to do everything meticulously. Hopefully this bickering and giving of mis-information does not continue because it makes me not want to post here anymore...
Back on topic: Mike, thanks for the tip about feeding a live then f/t, never though of that.

I speak from vast experience, you all do not.

Here's the thing people..
Nearly all of the cases reported of the rat attacking and eating the snake are from STUPID non thinking twits who place a rat in the snakes cage and leave absolutely no food for the rat to eat and then walk away and leave it.
There is this super scary picture folks try to use to con others into believing that a rat/mouse will skin a BP alive quite quickly.
That is utter nonsense, if you look at that picture one can clearly tell that the rat fed off that snake for days before the owner finally decided to check on things.

Exactly. You can easily tell when a snake is interested in a food item and if they aren't. If they aren't within 10 - 20 minutes then take it out! Keep the rat for a few more days or kill it.

Yes, now look at the sheer quantity of flesh removed from that BP, the rat fed on it for DAYS..
That is not the result of one little "attack", that is a rat having 3 meals a day for quite some time.

Re: f/t or live
Nothing wrong with live feeding "if" that's the only way the specimen will take it's prey and done properly....
Something wrong with live feeding if the person that owns the snake is just plain too lazy to even try and switch them over to FK or FT....
Live feeding then IMO is just for "kicks"..... I have no time for people in this hobby who are in it just for "kicks".

No that happened in like less then three second when I dropped the the rat in. I never thought it could happen to me.
