    Should've used checkboxes instead of dots on the poll.

    Some of my snakes eat FT rats, some eat pre-killed rats, some eat live rats, and some eat live mice.

    Re: What do you feed you Ball Python?

    Most of mine eat F/T Rat/ASF; but I too have problems with my Het Ghost and Albino they both prefer LIVE and will go on hunger strike; the carmel went 45days without eating this past summer, got me worried. AT any rate I never, leave them alone with live. I have 2 rescues wih munched bodys from some yahoo doing that.

    Re: What do you feed you Ball Python?

    There should be an option for "all/some of the above" - since I feed a variety of prey to my BPs. Delilah only eats mice, Toby will eat literally anything, and Mona prefers a live rat... I also have new babies that are eating hopper mice & weanling rats. I've tried F/T and pre-killed, but they won't eat it consistently, and I find live prey easier to deal with anyway.
    Lolo's Collection...
    Ball Pythons: 0.4 Normals, 1.0 Pastel, 1.1 Mojaves, 1.0 Black Pastel, 2.0 Spiders, 0.1 Lesser, 1.0 Orange Ghost, 0.1 Honeybee
    0.1 Spotted Python, 1.1 Stimson's Pythons, 1.0 Jungle Carpet Python
    3.4 Corn Snakes, 1.1 Western Hognose Snakes, 1.2 cats, and 1.0 dog (47lb mutt)
