While I prefer to feed live. Its as simple as, gives them something to do, that they are designed to do.
The, they only eat live is silly, both in captivity, which has been shown wrong about a billion times and in nature.
I have seen many snakes eat dead food, in fact really dead. Many times, in many ways. I observed a diamondback eating parts off doves left from the pervious years dove season. Almost year old feathers and feet and wings. I was living in Fla. and rehabbing a roadside hawk. I cut off fatting pieces of beef heart. they fell on the porch. We then went in town for something. When I came back, there was a corn snake on the porch eating those waste pieces. not only was the prey dead, it was a friggin cow. This brings up the, why on earth do people believe people. In my opinion, we should listen at most, and believe the animals. hahahahahahahahaha at most. Ok, to research(read) is to be aware, not to believe. To observe is to record as real. Science never says we are suppose to believe anything, only question it.
