I agree with Wayne. I'd only feed live if all other options were exhausted and there was no other way, apart from force-feeding, that I could get them to eat.

Oh and here's some recent pictures of Salazar constricting a hopper:

Our baby didn't constrict his first pinkie he ate with us, but the second one he went to town. He seemed totally disinterested in the pinkie in his feeding tub so I picked it up with the tongs and danced it around. He struck so fast, and then constricted for a while, then figured out he needed to move off the arm and onto the head to eat the little guy.

I find the whole thing fascinating. Now I just wonder when he will finally poo...

Silly kids, don't waste your energy. It's dead already, so just dig in! Yum!

I always do the zombie dance and then play tug-o-war with them. This picture isn't very good but it is a stripped ghost with a f/t hopper hidden in the middle. I'm holding the tail of the mouse.

I know I don't have to do this, but I feel it really gives him that true "I'ma kill you sucker!" experience.
that is super cute, i love when they do that our oldest looks all proud of himself after hes pinned it down
