because of where I live,all my snakes are backyard caught,as we have no shortage of habitat,or local species here.I have one adult red rat snake that will accept all offered if dead,alive,rat,or mouse.I have a very gentle 6'gray rat snake caught as an adult;this snake wants mice,live or killed and handfed.It only accepts rats(killed)after triggering on swallowed mice.
Both were first fed white mice,the red rat(fat when captured)taking a live mouse the second day.
