They sell pre frosted, killed mice because if you feed adult gerbils or hamsters to your snake, their stomach might not handle it well

And if it’s not a clean kill, the rodent can scratch and bite and give the snake an infection or a missing eye.

There’s no good reason to feed live prey if the animal will accept frozen.
