I just picked up my first pet snake. Its a female (so I'm told) normal 2012 BP.
My LPS told me that she had taken delivery of the BP 3weeks ago and she has had no problem taking a live hopper mouse one a week. She always feeds of fridays. I want to keep the same feeding schedule at least until I know she is feeding regular. This friday will be her first feeding with me. When I bought her i also bought 2 live hopper mice that where actually set to be food for her and her siblings.
From everything I have read over the last year+ I want to go to f/t food if I can. Should I wait for a couple weeks and see for my self that she is eating before I try f/t? This is what I'm leaning towards but I want to make sure.
BTW she just had her first poop with me and she seems very healthy and happy. No strikes or bites. She doesn't even ball up when I handle her, she just holds on till I sit down then slowly explores. I have been researching snakes for a couple years now and learned alot from a really good breeder that has a weekly youtube show (not sure if the forum would frown on me giving out the name).
Thanks for any info.
