    Feeding Problems

    I took your advice and fed my python Pre killed mice.. He ate it with no trouble and seemed to enjoy it. I'm glad frozen mice have 0% no parasites and its good to feed knowing your snake will be safe. My colombian red tail refused his meal so I will wait a few days to feed him again. Thanks Again =]

    Hey Mikey that's awesome dude! Sometimes it is a huge ordeal to make that switch. Good decision to go with f/t you still get to see the same exact response as if it was live so it's not really like there's a huge difference from an owner perspective other than that it costs less, you can store many at one time easliy, there is no risk of injury to your snake, and there are lowered vet bills (due to less possible infection or injury). So there ya go! Congrats and I haven't said this before but always nice to have another Chicagoan here in the forums welcome!

    Hey congrats Maniac. Its always great to get em eating f/t. Your redtail is new isn't it? I'd give it at least a week before feeding, so he/she can destress.

    Jonah,
    Thank YOU for being part of what makes this community what it is, and thanks to everyone from the animal control officer who gave me my first ball python to the folks here, who have given me good advice on or insight into snakey behavior, husbandry, breeding, and other aspects of keeping. I like to share what I've learned in homage to the people and snakes who've taught me, in the hopes that I might help another animal as mine have been helped. The people make the community, but the community also sets the tone for the people, as all the veterans of other forums know. Y'all rock.
