I bought two 2-year-old Ball pythons one is a female (silverstreak named Stella) the other is a male (a cinnamon pinstripe named Gabriel). The only thing they've ever eaten is live mice and the breeder just put the mice in with these snakes. Now what I want to accomplish is to switch these guys over to f/t rats introduced by forcepts and for them to be in a different enclosure when being fed... anybody know how to do this? This is the first time I've ever bought a ball python let alone 2 this old from someone else rather than getting them as a hatchling and raising them how I see fit. i've never had a problem with a ball python rejecting food until now and now I have no idea how to not only switch them from live to F/T but also from mice to rats and getting them used to being handled briefly before feedings. I'm feeling like I'm in a little over my head here, any suggestions would be appreciated.
