Yeah, even with my snakes I've never had a problem feeding f/t. I've seen plenty of pictures of snakes with their heads ripped open to risk it. Once I get my tegu, I only plan on feeding it dead things, with the exception of bugs. The way I see it, the people around here treat their lizards pretty well, so well in fact that I'd say they get about as much mental stimulation as a housecat. They get to go outdoors, they get fed a lot more than just kibble, and they usually get to roam the home as well. I don't think the risk of them losing an eye is worth it, and I don't see why someone would feed a fuzzy over a huge roach anyway (if movement is the whole point of feeding live). Sure the fuzzy can't do much if anything, but aren't baby mice all fat anyway?
