    3 1/2 foot normal BP feeding question

    I fed my Bp a live med rat like always, well while he was killing it I noticed the rat nipped the snake it is very small but drew a little blood. The BP does not act like it bugs him. I was just wondering is there anything I should do? it bled for about less than 2 mins.
    How do I switch him over to eating frozen? He has been eating live since it was born.

    I wouldn't worry about the bite. As long as it isn't bleeding profusely or looks infected it will be fine. Keep an eye on it for a few days and make sure it is healing ok.

    As for switching to F/T, have you tried offering the snake F/T at all yet? Some snakes will easily switch, some won't. Give it a try and see how it goes!

    depending on how small it is, i would say, just watch it make sure an infectin doesnt form... maybe you could put a little neosporin on it?
