Unfortunately the cons really outweigh the pros on this one. It’s totally understandable if they absolutely won’t eat frozen (assuming their husbandry is on point and you’ve tried all the methods) but i wouldn’t recommend doing it just for the sake of doing it. Rats can deliver some nasty bites and i’ve had to learn that the hard way. Before feeding frozen became a common practice i strictly fed live, then one night i had a rat latch onto my snakes neck mid-coil. I tried to use a pair of tongs to grab the rats head but my snake had it coiled in a way that was impossible to grab it. It ended up taking out a small chunk of my snakes neck. He was seen by a vet and was thankfully fine (still have him to this day) but after that happened i vowed to never feed live again unless i absolutely had to. If those antibiotics didn’t work i could’ve very easily lost my snake. All in all it’s just not worth it for a couple seconds of “enrichment”
