As I am still pretty new here i'm curious as to what the deal is with live feeding.
When I was in the states, I fed my smooth green snakes live goldfish in a bowl as they were used to hunting through their waterdish for the animals.
I just read another forum posting about a Fussy Juvie and someone expected flaming because they used to feed live.
Now here in Aus, I read my license and saw that I am not allowed to feed live "meals". Is there a genuine reason for this or is it just because it's not considered humane to some.
To me, the snake is a hunter..... that's what they do. I would expect them to naturally go after live prey.
It's a genuine question i'm asking in good faith as I had no idea what the policy was here until i just read that forum topic, so please don't flame me over it.
