Dougle, when it's all said and done I agree with you. I feed my balls live and two of them have been doing it for 16 years without incedent. But even snakes can miscalculate and that's when the best chance for damage occurs. Rats, if not grabbed by the head and wrapped quickly, WILL react in defense. And that means somebody's gonna get bit. I've got a big red tailed boa that miscalculated on a 450 gram jumbo and took a bite near his right eye. Was a clean bite and healed up well, and he's not missed sense , but it could have been fatal. Mistakes happen and if one is concerned, it's best to teach them to take dead prey, and the best way to do that is to purchase frozen from a dealer. Besides it's CHEAPER than live
