alot of good info there, but I have one question. Why do you say feeding live is absolutely the last resort? I, along with ton's of other breeders feed almost exclusively live prey animals. I have never had a BP injured from a proper sized prey item. The key to feeding live is supervision but to say it's a last resort is wrong. The last resort is force feeding because some people wait too long and animals get too weak to feed on their own. I do have a few animals that eat pre-killed but if they miss 3 meals, they get live for a few feedings to get them back on track and some never go back to pre-killed. Again there is nothing wrong with feeding live, and it is even safer for people with a very small collection as they are able to monitor the cages alot closer than people with hundreds of animals.
