What a good snake! But you get credit too, helping him settle in so fast.

Good stuff! I tried making the switch last night, without success. I got the "sniff, sniff... turned away... that is not a mouse" response.

For those trying, go to the pet store and get used mice bedding and let the rats run around in it for a few hours. This worked great for my two guys.

I'm about to switch over this week , she's been taking jumbo mice for the last 10 weeks since I got her
I purchase 10 frozen each purchase online but this delivery the rats are black ,
Hope the change to rats plus the colour change won't be too much of a difference .

Congrats on your snake eating! I always love to see a ball python eat as mine just came off a 7 month strike from eating, so a eating ball python is a nice sight to see.

Thanks! Yea, he was on "live" when I got him last December, then I went straight to F/T mice for 4 months and now we're doin' the "rat" thang. He's such a good boy.

So the switch she came out had a few sniffs thought this isn't a mouse and it's the wrong colour ,went back in her hide and totally blanked it .
I put the weaner rat in her tank and left her alone and went to bed
Woke up the next morning and the rat had gone so I'm taking that as a win .
