Live or frozen thawed shouldn't make a difference. If your snake is hungry, it will eat.
This is why I personally never feed on a schedule. (Not saying you do) If a snake refuses a meal, I will offer again a day or two later. Just because it is not hungry today doesn't mean it is not going to be tomorrow.
Also, stress that can be caused for many reasons can affect a snakes appetite. Some Snakes can be easily startled which can lead to a missed feeding.
Like when you go to feed two snakes at once and your cal king smokes a mouse and falls down into your Thayeri's cage and scares the crap out of him.... LOL
I began feeding F/T but switched at the beginning of this year. I personally have seen a much greater feeding response so I stuck with it.
To each his own... Do what works for you... I feed my snakes as much as they want to eat. Some eat 2-3x per week but most eat once every 4-5 days.
Good Luck!
