Is it better to feed atbs live or dead? I feed my ball python stuned live and he eats them (strikes) within 15 seconds. When he (atb) gets older should I move on to live or stay with frozen? Thank you all for taking the time to look at my questions!!!

It is much better to feed dead over live...
1.) The snake can not get injured in a possible attack from they prey item.
2.) The Prey is humanely killed.
3.) Convienence. It can sometime be bit hard getting out to the petstore when your snakes craving some food. So, just pop one out of the freezer, defraust it... and good times.
I am a huge believer for feeding dead prey to the snakes, best part about it is that that snake doesnt care as long as it gets fed! Good luck. Post some pics.
