    Switching from live to frozen

    My bp is around 4 years old and has always eaten live and in a separate container. Today I'm going to try to switch him to frozen rats and feed him in his tank, I'm looking for any tips/information on how to go about this!

    This question comes up all the time- have you looked at the threads under the BP husbandry part of the forum? https://ball-pythons.net/forums/foru...2-BP-Husbandry

    By the way, GREAT decision! For safety, as well as for the humane treatment of prey.

    I found these threads on switching a bp from live to frozen rats:

    I don't think you have to do anything special to switch from feeding him in a separate container to his tank.
