Second BP

Got our second BP 8 days ago (2010 pied male). Breeder was feeding live rat pups. He is 276 gr. I offered him a f/t rat pup 25gr yesterday with no luck. I'm gonna try again in a week but thinking bout trying live until he eats regular then try switching to f/t. Also can feeding live give him parasites? Our first BP a a2010 normal female which we got in dec was already on f/t and she ate on first attempt and eats great. She's perfect. Any thoughts?

What the? No pics.... That is just teasing....:D

Yeah, feed him what he's used to for the first few weeks while he's settling in, then try switching to f/t. The most important thing is to make sure he's eating well in his new home :) That's great that your female ate right away. Some bps are pigs and some are picky unfortunately. And yes, every once and awhile if you get them from a bad source, live rodents can carry parasites. It's usually not a big issue though, and I know many people who feed live with no problems.

Oh, and I agree..... I would also like to see some pics!! :P Pieds are awesome!! Is he a low white or a high white?

I was able to place photos in the Photo Gallery..now trying to place them in my post. http://http://ball-pythons.net/galle...h_235ee6cd.jpg

Thanks blushingball for your reply...Im gonna feed live rat pups til he's good and settled in then switch to f/t...also i would say he's bout 70% white so I guess thats a med white...there are pics of him and our normal female in my gallery. just haven't figured out how to send the pics from my gallery to a post..also that's him on my avatar pic..
