The waistline of the dress is also falling directly under her bustline, which is not where her actual waist *should* be. If it is, her kidneys might be somewhere around her armpits, and, while I'm not a fan of her at all, I'm growing increasingly concerned for her health. All in all, bad choices have been made.

Not recover in as timely a manner. And let's not even start on the issues injuries can sometimes cause during shedding.
Frozen/thawed are NOT always killed humanely, but they certainly CAN be, whereas putting one directly in a cage with a snake is not so different from putting a gladiator in a cage with a lion. One side is not going to get out alive, both are likely to suffer, and one will end in fear and pain.
Animals may end up in life-threatening situations often in the wild, but the animal's we're discussing are often captive bred and raised. In the wild wolves would hunt rabbit, deer, whatever else, but you're far from likely to throw your dog in a room with a rabbit and let them go at it. Snakes are not dogs, but they are still pets, and the rats/mice still living things. Some will never adapt to eating frozen/thawed. But many often can. If there's even a chance you can reduce the suffering of either animal, it seems worthwhile to take it.

All of these arguments seem to have ignored the fact that it is also a danger to the snake to put live mice/rats in the tanks with them. If we're using "in the wild" as an example, both of these creatures would have an opportunity to escape the situation, even if, for the prey's case, it often isnt successful. In a captive scenario, this is not a possibility. Both are trapped in a confined space.
Additionally, snakes-- particularly timid species such as ball pythons-- do not always strike at prey placed in tanks with them. This can rapidly become a problem if the prey animal turns even a little aggressive/gets curious/has the urge to gnaw. As observed in the post itself, this puts the snake at a huge risk to suffer very severe injuries in a very short amount of time, leaving it at risk for infection and death. While there are vets who can treat reptiles, they are far less common than those who specialize in mammals, further increasing the likelihood the animal will
