I changed my snake from live to frozen rats because I couldn't find the size prey that I needed. I feed my snake every week I had him since he was a month old and he never dined food he is 5 months now going on 6 and I switch him over to f/t 3 weeks ago, I had a success with getting him to eat it but have a feeling I'm not doing something right or he just don't like the tub I feed him in he takes the food but it's take some time to get him to strike at it might not be heating up good enough or what but what's the right way to thaw out a rat and warm it up ect!
