Live or F/T?

The only way a larger snake needs to chase their meal is if your using tanks :confused:

I would think long and hard about switching any future breeders to asf's.
It takes twice as long to get an asf to size to feed a large snake.
I only feed asf's to stubborn mouse eaters that won't eat rats...
F/T or live is a personal choice, I only feed live to my crew.

my baby ball refused F/T three separate times, and i finally got her to eat a live fuzzy. i have heard of some balls being really picky, refusing food that isn't big enough or if it isn't lively enough.

I just built a rack system for my mice! I think once I get my colony going that it will be better for me! I had a litter of 12 3 weeks ago. Plus had a litter of 10 a few days ago. I also have a female about to pop! So, guess I got it up and going! So, I can go with live or f/t or fresh kill!

I think im just going to keep her on live. She does good on it so why switch her over.

Thanx everyone:)

exactly, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's not really any harder for them. Once they grow up a bit BPs are much more efficient killers. One strike, normally right away, a short constriction, and down the hatch they go.

It's really up to you on what you want to do. If you prefer f/t then go with f/t. I personally prefer live for several reasons, no rat shelf in my freezer, no thawing/warming, no smelly rats in the morning when they decide they aren't eating it, no wasted rats, etc. If they refuse a live rat you can put it in with another one, or put it back in the cage. F/t can only be refroze once, then they are much. I've wasted so many f/t rats....
