    Isis has recently stopped eating f/t mice, and it's been about 4 weeks so I decided to try feeding live, but she won't take that either... should I be worried?

    I would say no. BPs can go months without food. Just make sure your snake isn't losing weight. I think especially with the season change, they may be inclined to refuse food. If you have your snake on f/t, I'd stick with that unless she starts losing weight and that's the only way you can get her to eat.

    Yeah, if your snake was taking f/t in the past, and is not eating them now, I'd call it a classic example of the "breeding season off-feediness." I would think that trying to feed a live mouse might actually be more stressful for the snake than helpful. I would just hold off for a few weeks and then try offering another f/t and see what develops.
    Does your snake constrict/strike at the f/t, or merely scoop it up and swallow?

    Alright, I'll just wait.. Should I try to feed her once every regular feeding time? She doesn't constrict or strike at f/t, she just swallows it.
