yes i've heard if feeding live the food can carry parasites, so in turn the snakes will get parasites. but feeding frozen kills any parasites from what i read. i have always feed frozen to all my 7 snakes from the day i got them. have never taken them to a vet for anything. now if they were to get sick, ya, i would take them. this is ME and how i take care of my snakes. i see no reason to take in a perfectly healthy animal just for the vet to do a check up and collect money i really dont' have . the choice is yours really.
