It got to the place where he was so larthergic that an otherwise active snake could be poked and part way lifted up before he responded to you being in the cage. I know without a doubt that had I not went with live, he would have died. I am not a promoter of live feeding, actually quite the opposite, but there are times when it is necessary.
I don't need a law telling me that I should let a reptile in my care starve to death.

Sure, you do what you have to do, and it's none of anybody's business. You feeding live to a snake that would otherwise starve is one thing.. people who promote live feeding, even as a sport! .. and more stupid stuff are all-together a different species.

Be safe.
