While there is nothing inherently "wrong" feeding a reptile a live prey item—that's nature, folks—I concur with Khoilie. Feeder animals are meant to be food, pets are meant to be pets. I have met a couple people who have fed their snakes cats, however. I've also heard snakes prefer the taste of hamsters to mice/rats and can get addicted to them.
