On saturday I am adopting a 4yo male ball python that I am informed is currently eating live. Since I have been an avid animal lover my whole life, I am not comfortable with killing rodents once a week and I really want to switch him over to f/t. Now, I do know a few tips and tricks to feeding a feisty herp- dipping the rodent in tuna juice and setting the rodent on a space heater for an hour or two and making it "dance" by the tail w/ tongs.

What I'm wondering is how do you transition from live --> f/t? Anyone who has done it before- I would be greatly appreciative if you gave me any advice!(:

Thanks so much!
