A bit tight is really what they like. Introduce the hide and see if the snake uses it. If it does, this might work out.

For what it's worth - all my snakes are happily chomping down on d/f frozen rodents so it's clearly possible . They all feed on a weekly basis apart from 3 of the 6 Royal pythons ( Balls ) who get offered the food every 10 to 14 days . Some see to prefer a bit longer in between feeds , they don't feed every Wednesday at 6pm in the wild after all ..

I've seen reports of some people mixing things up big- time so they feed mice or rats or chicks etc and varying from 7 to 10 to 14 and anywhere in between , that also seems to work for some snakes .

I'm glad all your snakes eat F/T. However, that does not make it "clearly possible" for every Ball/Royal out there. I had one that would have starved to death before eating something that he "clearly" never saw as a food item. Nothing is ever 100%.

I wouldn't class 'clearly possible' as 100% to be honest .

That said - over the years I've kept around 70 snakes of all types and never, ever , had to feed LIVE - which oddly enough IS 100% :)

Oh good you're here for your monthly anti live feeding rants. Maybe you can just not do that on this thread and cause one hundred extra posts to be put up and then a moderator having to tell everyone to settle down or move the thread?

SMH... Guess I have to go ahead state the obvious. You don't own 100% of the snakes in captivity. I'm happy for your success rate, but what's that have to do with all the snakes you don't own?

Do I think most all BPs can be switched over to F/T? Yes I do, however, I know better than to think they all can.

Mate .. You're too sensitive for some reason , I haven't said anything against live feeding . Just read my last few posts . As I said how anyone can change my ' clearly possible ' into meaning 100% I do not know .

I do know that this forum is getting harder and harder to put an opinion across . One word against the tide and the whole schoolyard jumps on you .

It's a forum , guys .. What happened to the land of freedom ??

I'm not your mate and I'm not too sensitive. We go through this every month when you hijack threads with an obvious intent dude.

The part you highlighted was a little attempt at humour ( wasted clearly ) - just a little afterthought

Again though .. I said ' it was clearly POSSIBLE ' I never said it WAS 100% possible ... That was the other guy misquoting me .
