Is this weird?

Hellooo. my bp is 131g(weighed him today) and at first he would not touch F/T so I fed live for a few weeks then bam he took F/T and (I know I prob should not do it but I do) I have switched back and forth between live and f/t and he does not seem to care at all he just eats it. Is that good or is it bad to change it up?

To be completely honest you are very lucky that your snake will still take f/t since you also feed live. Ball pythons are very picky eaters sometimes. I guess as long as your snake is eating that is all that matters but don't be surprised if at some point your snake will only eat live prey.

I agree with you. That is lucky, because my snake wont even take F/t. Most ball pythons will just stick to live.

There has been a couple times when there were no live rats or mice available at any of our pet stores and i had to resort to frozen/thawed and my BP had no problem taking them. I am sure he much prefers the live, which I will give him whenever possible, but they will take both.
