My first few attempts at getting my BP to move to f/t or just pk'd were very unsuccessful. I had lost all hope even after having him off feed for a few weeks and still denying f/t so I switched back to live.
Well last weeks feed scared me, rat bit but fortunately didnt puncture. So this week I was determined to get him onto f/t. (Also I have a RTB that feeds on f/t like a dream within a few seconds of introducing the f/t and my girlfriend's ball python is also an amazing f/t feeder.) Today I was cleaning Nova, my BP's cage and had a thawed rat in his holding tub with him, no luck.
Moved him back to his normal tank, hit the rat with a blow dryer to 'reheat' it and did a little zombie rat dance then he struck and now is eating happily.
Normally I hate emoticons, especially this one, but damned I'm happy and it's called for!
