Frozen or live?

Okay so I've got a baby corn snake I'm not exactly sure how much she weighs but she is about 9 - 11 inches in length. She is currently feeding on newborn pinkie mice. I just want some other opinions on whether it's better the feed her live or frozen.

Frozen is much easier for me. Not only can you store them and always have access to them, but it's much nicer for both the snake and the mouse to feed frozen thawed or pre killed. There are lots of threads around here that you can read if you want to get more in depth.

Agreed. A live mouse can harm your snake with scratches and bites during the fight, and it is cruel to the mouse to be killed slowly and painfully. I know pinkies are not as much a danger as adults, but if you get started on F/T now it won't be a problem.

Definitely frozen thawed. Easy to store, can buy in bulk, you don't have to have a separate enclosure to house them to breed and such, and no harm comes to your snake as in fights
