The thread was closed while I was writing this!!! I think there's a few too many soap boxes where live-feeding is concerned... Once it's been said, there's no need to hammer the point any more. When I was a newbie 50 years ago, I did all these things too (as most of you would have as well). It seemed very unlikely to me that a snake would eat thawed food, in fact the idea didn't even cross my mind until I'd been keeping snakes for 20-odd years.
It's a perfectly natural assumption that live may appeal more than fresh-killed or thawed-frozen, and it only needs a bit of experience to discover otherwise. Those of you with a self-righteous bent could employ your judgement skills much more usefully examining how some people keep and kill their rodents - that's a far more worrying aspect of the reptile hobby for me, and definitely worthy of a bit more scrutiny. I've seen terrible cruelty inflicted on rodents by people who would be horrified if the same abuse was done to reptiles... there are some grotesquely insensitive people out there...
