    There is never any guarantee, though most switch some will switch sooner than others that might take months.

    When getting an animal it's also always best to feed him what he was previously eating and switch once well established and feeding for you.

    Some breeder sell animals that are already switched to F/T and some will even do it for you if you ask them.

    Again switching time may vary depending on the animal, might even require a little tough love.

    Will that work for older snakes?

    Again no certainty and older animals might take a little longer but it can work.

    With older animals switching after a long fast often does the trick.
