Live or F/T

Aside from the considerations of potential danger to the predator, either from direct attack or parasites, or concern for the feelings of the prey, frozen is simply much easier and more convenient to work with. If the snake doesn't take the food immediately it can be left overnight w/out any worries, not something I'd even consider doing with live rodents.
I remember back in college someone tried feeding a green anole to a garter snake. The anole actually attacked the garter snake, biting its head and drawing a couple drops of blood.

Thanks for the feed back What prompted this qa was I was chatting with a man who had venomoids the other party claims that venomous snake have to use there venom to aid in digestion.so feeding ft to a venomous snake was a bad ideal I brought up venoms puss because they don't have there venom

Not all snake venom breaks down tissue, and the ones that do wouldn't be likely to make a significant difference to the overall digestion process.

F/T all the way, never have any issues of worrying about the snake getting bit
