I understand that some snakes will only take live but that does not mean you would recommend it and I am pretty sure the snake would not recommend being moved just to eat.
I am not trying to influence anyone.

This will just start a flame war, so be prepared. I would recommend every one to feed F/T, although, I feed both of my snakes live rats and have been since they were both born. One thing that I recommend everyone to do, though, is to feed inside their reptiles enclosure. I honestly do NOT see a reason to feed outside the enclosure, if someone's fearing their snake becoming aggressive, then I don't think they should even own snakes. With a little hook training for every snake they own, they shouldn't be afraid of their snakes becoming aggressive.

Re: Feeding Poll
Definitely feed inside the enclosure. That is where the snake is most comfortable. Taking it out and feeding it somewhere else is added stress, plain and simple. I do understand why some places do it (zoos, pet stores, etc.), and some snakes, if healthy, will eat fine regardless wherever they're at, but sometimes, you have a finicky feeder who gets stressed out, and will only eat in its own familiar habitat. As a keeper, you have to be willing to be flexible, because many times, the animal will not.
---
Regarding live vs prekilled vs F/T, the debate is endless. I have my reasons for feeding live and my reasons for advocating it. However, I will say on this matter, while the keeper should remain flexible, they need to do what they feel is best for them and their animals. In some cases, finding a source for live feeders in your area is difficult. Or likewise, ordering bulk frozen orders is too expensive, with everyone raising shipping costs. You have to raise your own feeders or find someone who does, and prekill them yourself if you wish not to feed live. You just gotta figure out what works best for you, your snakes, and your pocketbook, because your ideal "Plan A" may not be doable at the time, and you may have to settle for plan B. Bottom line: REMAIN FLEXIBLE, and remember...there will be snakes that will never take dead prey. Resign yourself to this reality sooner rather than later.

Re: Feeding Poll
I feed my snakes f/t, because its cheaper, easier to store larger amounts, and less likely to hurt the snake. I feed in a separate container, because I'm afraid bedding inthe snakes enclosure could get stuck on the rats fur and cause impaction. Both my snakes eat fine anywhere so I don't think it's a bad thing for them.

Re: Feeding Poll
I started off feeding In a seperate container. But when there in feed mode it gets to be a pain. Now I just throw a f/t mouse in the tank and walk away. Alot easier personally.

Re: Feeding Poll
Maybe we can sticky this poll and leave it open for ever so people can keep voting (new members). Then when asked what most of us do we can link it. It is a common topic.

i reccomended feeding frozen thawed in their enclosure...
i also reccomended basing your decision on each individual snake...
as some snakes will only take live,no matter how hard you try frozen thawed..
