    Feeding Question

    I currently feed my BP f/t, I wanted to feed him live but the petstore doesn't have live mice that are small enough for him. He is 4 months old but the petsmart, where I got him, was feeding him pinkies so he is slightly underweight. But anyways, I wanted to know if once he gets big enough to feed him live occasionly because the petstore has a very small supply of frozen but atleast 200 live.

    I'd be shocked if your snake ate if you went from f/t to live back to f/t. They are picky eaters to begin with, switching it up like that will cause food strikes. I say choose one and stick with it.

    Try to stick with one or the other, yes some can be picky eaters, & some can be disposals, eating whatever, whenever.

    Re: Feeding Question

    I would get cozy with the store about when they receive their shipments. they'll typically be able to tell you when they should receive something, and I worked my feeding schedule around it. If i could I would also buy some extra if they had them, that way I'd be safe if they weren't getting one in for a while.
