I disagree with 2 points on the F/T list...

1) freezing, if anything preserves bacteria and other potential pathogens....it absolutely does not kill them. I work with various microoganisms on a daily basis and all of them are kept at -80C or -150 C for permanent storage and -20C for temporary storage. The colder it is the longer they last...

2) It is just as easy to inject a live rat with what ever medication after it is dead, but while the snake is still wrapping it. Therefor there is really no difference between medicating with a live of F/T animal.

Otherwise, that is a good list!
