If however you have a snake that no matter what you've tried won't eat and live is your only option than you can. There is snakes though that just wont' eat anything other than live.

I think it may be illegal in NSW but not entirely sure. Seems to depend on who you speak to. |

I even heard a radio program that said if you want to kill a cane toad you need to take it to the vet to be put down. |

I then sent an email to NSW NPWS and asked them if it was illegal to feed my snake a live pinkie as it would not take dead. They told me that it was not illegal, and it was the RSPCA that wanted to put an end to it.
