Someone that claims that feeding prekilled items makes for a less potent venom is probably talking out of their league. Frozen/thawed mice provide an sufficient diet for the animals to live, grow, reach adulthood and successfully reproduce. If it provides a complete enough diet for the completion of the life cycle, it surely has a complete enough of a diet to manufacture venom properly. From what I've witnessed in snakes this does not hold true at all.
