not its not illegal,

i THINK it might be illegal for a pet shop to sell you a live mouse/rat if they know its intended purpose

animal welfare groups could push for cruelty to the mouse, but then isnt it cruel to let your snake starve, lol damned if you do damned if you dont

but no its not illegal to feed live

It is illegal for a pet shop to sell you a live animal if they are aware that is intended to be food..
Or at least thats what they tell us at orientation
