I just purchased my first snake, a milksnake (albino sinaloan) from a local reptile pet store. I have wanted a snake for quite awhile but was recently able to have one. I am torn over feeding him live fuzzies or pre-killed. I am also torn over feeding in his "house" or getting a separate feeding container. I have read so many things about feeding that i am concerned that he wont eat at all!

Also, is it common for a milksnake to urinate or deficate every time that i try to handle him? Is this just nervous behavior?
