Feeding live mice to snakes is generally discouraged due to ethical concerns and the potential for injury to both the prey and the snake. Live prey can inflict wounds on snakes during the struggle, leading to infections or other health issues. Additionally, many snake owners and veterinarians recommend feeding pre-killed or frozen-thawed mice to ensure a safer and more humane feeding process. This approach also minimizes stress for both the snake and the prey.
