There are 2 main reasons I still feed live.
1. My local pet store is very hit or miss with f/t. the owner breeds her own rats and mice and sometimes she will cull a few for f/t and sometime she won’t. I have requested f/t but when you’re the only pet store in town sometimes customer service lacks. There are a few other snake owners here in town that feed live, so she doesn’t see a need for f/t that often. She also charges the same for a frozen rat as a live rat so there is no cost savings for me. However, I do pick up as many f/t feeders whenever I’m in Salt Lake City and it does save me a ton of money.
2. My wife is kind of creeped out by dead rats in her refrigerator. She knows that they aren’t carrying disease or anything but just the thought of it next to a frozen pizza is almost too much for her. I’m probably lucky I have my snakes at all. She is very good to me in that way…and other ways but that wouldn’t be appropriate for this blog!
