My fire male bp took about 12 days to feed after I got him. The breeder had just fed him the day before I picked Ra up. He fed fresh rat pups. Ra has a hilarious but voracious feeding response. Elevates the 1st third of his body and has the funniest tail excitement when I introduce his heated meal. He's feeding on p/k or stunned live rat crawlers. I want to switch him to frozen meals. My questions are: do y'all order your frozen and have delivered or store bought, what should I be looking for in meal quality? When would it be safe to try the switch, in your opinions? Also, he acts "hungry" every 3-4 days but on a 5 day schedule. Ra is a very personable snake also. Active, normal shed, correct husbandry, etc...at night, he will hang out of either hide, warm or cool side. Ra also enjoys contact. Really neat that I can lay my hand in his enclosure and he will actually venture out to me hand and arm...I've had him about 5 weeks and he just shed again. I would believe he's comfortable to try a meal switch, just wondering about quality and source for "healthy" meals?!
Thank y'all and Merry Christmas
