What do you feed you Ball Python?

I only have one ball still stuck on mice. All the others eat either live of f/t rats,asf, rabbit pups

All my snakes only eat live mice. Even my biggest normal bp, we have tried giving her rats, she absolutely will NOT eat them.

Used to feeds live rats...now I can get live ASF's.. the filet mignon of the feeder world :) He loves them !!

I feed live rats, live asf's to sub adults to adults and live hopper mice to hatchlings.

Pretty much the same now but I breed ASFs and won't breed rats because of the smell, so I buy some every week, week and a half. I also have some that only go with ASFs, so that puts a major damper on building up a good supply.

Mixture of live & F/T rats, with one guy that only eats live ASF.

A combination of f/t med. rats and large mice, depending on the size of the snake. An occasional live mouse, but I don't believe that live rats are worth the risk.

F/T
its the safest way!

I feed fresh killed mice. Recently I had a problem with my normal ball python female. Recently I mean up until an hour ago. She hasn't eaten since October 8th. I have tried everything from live, f/t, asf trickery, to I just read a forum for force feeding and it was talking blah blah blah about them coming from africa and they eat gerbils. Well bam, tagged and swallowed in 45 seconds.
