I will be picking up my first Ball Python in the next few days. She is currently feeding on live. I want to get her on F/T.

By my calculations after a week to settle in she will be 2-3 days past her normal feeding time.

Can I try to feed her a F/T prey, or since she is new and just settling in, shoudl I stick with live for a period of time and then try F/T.

I had thought about trying a F/T on one day, if it fails ( leave it overnight if zombie routine doesnt get a response) and if still not eaten go get a live prey the next day.

Let me know your thoughts and thanks for answering my noob questions.
