Feeding, pre killed and frozen is the way to go now. For many reasons, one is for the safty of the snake, when they can eat rats and rabbits, those are some animals that are smarter and can do some damage with there teeth or claws. Another reason for you, rats can bite and it can be a pain to deal with. Its also the more humane way to feed the snakes. Some have said that yes feeding live can cause aggressiveness, compared to feeding pre killed or frozen. I am not sure if I answered your question, but let me know.

Some people say that snakes are less aggressive when they are fed frozen comapared to live. Because when they are fed live they have that instinct. But I am sure there are people out there who feed there snakes live that are pretty tame. I would not risk it though. Just my thought.
