Fresh killed works for me and mine.
When we got into cornsnakes we tried several different ways of feeding the mice to our snakes. When they were very little we fed them live pinkies because what harm is it going to do?
Then as they started getting bigger we decided we better figure something out before they get stick on live and wont convert. We tried buying frozen and we tried buying live then killing them. Buying live and killing works the best for us. All the benifits of fresh food, no worries of it fighting back.
The local paintball store sold us a CO2 canister with an on/off valve and a short bit of hose. The mice go into a container with a hole in the top, put the hose in the hole, slowly turn on the valve. When it looks like they are done twitching feed them to the snake! They are still nice and warm and only takes a minute. When we were warming frozen pinkies it took much longer.
Thats my recommendation. You will figure out what works for you.
