As I have posted earlier, they are all good ways to feed. Feeding live (responsibly), f/t, or p/k are just good practice. I have a Splendida that will only eat live or p/k, but in the p/k case, I have to physically move it around or she'll just ignore it. She is quite fast and if I'm not careful, tongs or not, she'll snatch whatever comes first (fingers or food). And no, I don't feed in her cage either. She is approximately 6 years old and has pretty much only had live food. She is in no way different from a few other Splendida that I have, where I have done p/k & f/t. If you have the means for p/k, then go for it. Last year, I did a lot of f/t with excellant results. This year will be almost all p/k. My mouse and rat colonies have blossomed and I now have more than I can handle. Will probably freeze and vaccuum seal about 250 adult mice just to make some room. The vaccuum seal process will help in keeping them more fresh due to moisture loss and I will use this when supply gets short. It's all just personal preference. Oh, and Tom, I've seen your snakes and they are awesome. I wouldn't change a thing.
