Can you explain what is going on in that pic. I know you feed live and will most likely not change your mind. But their is no way you can convince me feeding a live rat is safer than a dead one. Their can always be complications with feeding. But if you take the percentage of snakes that have been hurt from a live rat and compare it to frozen/thawed, I'm sure their would be a very clear answer. My boa collection is very important to me and I take every precaution to ensure their safety. I have been bitten by a jumbo rat before and I would just die if one of my snakes had to go through the experience.
