    Ball python feeding question

    My adult ball python he's about a year and a half or 2 I got him back in December so it's going on 4 months that I've had him. When I got him I asked the when they feed him last and they said the week before since he was eating every 2 weeks. I know it's normal for ball pythons to fast (my 9-10 mouth did) but I was woundering if I offered him a f/t African soft fur rat if he would take it. He's never eaten a froven thaw meal he's always been on live. Do you think he might take it if I offered him one?

    No way to know for sure except to offer him one and see if it he takes it.

    Some take FT, some don't. Some only eat certain types of FT. Each snake is different.

    If you want to know for sure with your snake, you'll have to offer him one and see what happens.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
