Swallowing rat while rat is alive..

Switch to frozen thawed as soon as possible mate. It's a complete myth that some snakes will only feed on live - here in the UK live feeding is illegal so all of our snakes feed on f/t with no problem at all. No family with a BP feeds live here at all because it's not culturally acceptable. It's always possible to switch them over to f/t, you just have to use certain techniques. Things such as braining, following a live feeder with f/t etc.

The unfortunate difference here is that since live isn't illegal, many BP's were fed live throughout their life until they are adults, making it even more difficult or impossible to transition them to f/t. My female was 3 years old when I got her and was on live her entire life. She wouldn't switch over, probably unless I didn't feed her for a year or starved her.
