albino bullsnake feeding

Feeding live to an animal that eats frozen is foolish. Leaving aside the difference in how humane the death of the food animal is, there's a real risk to the snake. I had a Bronzeback Snake, which is mildly venomous by the way, killed by a mouse when I got impatient and fed it two mice at once rather than letting it finish one before introducing the second. If you want to get your jollies watching animals die that's fine, but do it right. Get yourself a Cobra and a stopwatch.

Please explain how "in nature" that the mouse's death would have been less cruel as opposed to in your enclosure. May I suggest that you try not breathing for the exact period of time it took the mouse to die and let us know how humane it was?

Ever heard of "frozen fuzzies" or "frozen hoppers" or "frozen adult mice"?

Im not going to argue about "cruelness". It can damage your pet feeding them live food, you can give them diseases, parasites, or wounds when taking the live prey, although this happens in the wild. But live prey adds stimulant to your predator that only can be provided in the wild or live food. If you want you pet predator to feel his natural/ adrenaline moments of being in the hunt then feed live food. If not and its too cruel feed frozen.
