Not to mention the terror that the prey would be in before it dies.
Although I only had one snake, it was a wild caught rat snake, and it would eat thawed mice, quite gladly. If you thaw them well, and loosely loop some wire around, one end (I usually did around the head/neck), you can pretty easilly convince the snake that the prey is live. just be sure to keep the un-wired end twoards the snake so it doesn't eat the wire.
Its less cruel, healthier, and safer for everyone to feed dead food to your reptiles whenever possible. Rodents are fed good food (well, good for the snake, anyway) before they are euthanised. If you must feed live food, please make its last moments good ones, give it a treat or pet it, before you knock it out. Every being deserves to be loved once in its life, and to die unafraid.
