Just Wondering BUT...

Can you take a ABP (Albino Ball Python) from eating f/t mice to eating LIVE mice? Is it safe?

Why not I feed live rats to my snakes. How big is yours

Yes and yes :gj:

My snake is 160 grams, she is very sweet I just didn't want eating live mice to make her fierce or something lol "bounce:

Just feed her rat pups. They cant hurt your snake at all. And even later on when you have to feed bigger rats its still safe if you do it correctly.

Totally fine. As she grows though rats will be more convenient as you won't need to feed her several at a time.

I used to feed mine f/t and I went to feed live and I've seen no changes in their behavior what so ever except maybe them getting excited when I have rats and I slide out the tub and they smell the rats and get excited but other than that they haven't got any more aggressive since the switch.

It's perfectly fine :gj: All my ball pythons were eating F/T until I ran out of freezer space for the larger rats. Now they all eat live and are still as tame as can be.

Yes. You can feed live. It won't change the behavior or your snake.
I actually prefer live over f/t.

I've noticed that some of my snakes eat better when on live. I don't have near as many refusals since switching to live food.

I guess I should have written "Temperament" rather than behavior, which is what I was trying to say.

But yeah. I agree. Feeding response is generally higher with live.
