In the late 70's I lost a Southern Pacific Rattlensake to a live rodent. That was the last time I fed live when not needed. I guess some people learn more quickly than others or don't mind putting their animals at risk. Lots of experienced advice available on this forum to those willing/wanting to learn without making the same mistakes over and over again...

One of my ex-girlfriends insisted on feeding her adult boa live rats even after I told her the downside to this. A couple months later she called crying because she came home to a butchered, dead snake and one fat rat. I was so angry at her for treating the snake this way I said " I told you so", and hung up on her.
