Many long time snake keepers will say FT (frozen thawed) is best for many reasons.

1 A FT rodent can't bite and injure/kill your snake. There are many horror stories where feeder rodents seriously hurt and kill the snakes.

2 with FT you don't have to worry about what to do with a rejected live rodent. FTs that are not eaten can simply be disposed of if they go bad.

3 having been frozen will kill off some species of potential paracites that could harm your snake.

Hope this helps.
