Like sure snakes look nice but i would be really fucked up if i had to give it a living or dead rat every half a week or so. Only reason im not vegan is cos of that thin layer of separation between what i eat and the animal it came from, so i dont feel awful everytime i eat, do yall not feel any of that?

    has health risks too

    Live rodents are a injury risk to the snake. There is nothing unhealthy about frozen rodents, just like there is nothing unhealthy about frozen food for people. It preserves nutrients.

      Couldn't the person just kill the rodents they breed before feeding them

        Yes. That's not live feeding. I'm only against live feeding.

          I see. I have no idea what that would be called or if it has any benefits for people who don't breed reptiles though
