Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Live vs Frozen POLL
Hello I would first off like to say I really dont want to start a thread of wich is better or better Morally rather a thread soley for the purpose of gauging true feeding %s I personally feed mostly live but on occasion for the snakes that dont care will feed frozen when I get a good deal or somethin!
I raise my own rats in Racks so Live is a convience.It would cost way to much to buy frozen for all my snakes plus then you have to worry about mites and Quality of product and may I say a Delivery charge of as much as the rodents you are buying.I would also like to add that when you have newborn clutches of corns or balls sometimes you will have some out of a clutch that will starve them selves until you give them a live that Wiggles all night in their box and they Eat.I have actually did a experiment with ones trying to wait a baby snake out and trying all the Tricks in the book with Frozen all to waist money on smelly dead stinkie pinks that never get ate and the snake Died!.I will choose live over frozen any day when it comes to That! remember when we were kids Not all of us liked Brocolli Remember!

Shawn this is sure a hot button topic. And you start off by saying how this thread is only to poll percent not to determine which method is better, and then you spend the rest of the post telling us how you think live is better.
I don't think live is better, but the topic has been debated at length.
It will be interesting to see the poll results though.

I voted frozen only, though in the past with one very picky Ball Python, i fed live. I would feed live, if it was absolutely necessary.

You know how I roll Shawn, Live only here. The fact of the matter is, even though I breed my own rodents and it is more conveniant, most of the animals in my collection that I have purchased were on live when I bought them, including all of them that I purchased from the "big name breeders". It is my belief that more people feed live than FT, most just won't admit to it. But as Lucille stated (and I also value her opinion) the topic has been debated at length, and think at best, we all should just agree to disagree. To each their own I say.
