I can save you some time and trouble. None of my colubrids have a "softer" or more relaxed feel to them. My adults are enormous, muscular and impressive to say the least. They have been fed mostly frozen thawed all their lives except for the occasional pre killed mouse.

Frozen mice are more economical and you will get the same results from them as live or pre killed or what ever else you feed your snake.

I really don't see where all these rumors are coming from. Ask any breeder that has extensive knowledge or experience and he will tell you that frozen thawed is the way to go, period!

Years and years of breeding and keeping successfully with frozen thawed mice should answer anyone's questions as to if it is bad or not.

Really there is nothing wrong with a prekilled mouse either but people should not say that feeding frozen thawed is bad or worse for a snake. That is pure nonsense and speculation!!
