I think most of the members on here (uk) feed frozen thawed and would only resort to live if it was to save a snake.
Personally the risk factors linked with live feeding are not something i could even think about

I breed rats and then freeze them before feeding them to my snakes. This prevents injuries and undue stress and makes sure there are no parasites from the rats.

Frozen thawed all the way for me, unless its a none feeder then i go down the fresh killed route, only feeding live as a last last resort when all else fails

If i had a snake (which i have had before)...feeding would be frozen thawed... live feeding would be a total last resort if i had tried an other possible methods..ie: freshly killed
