This has certainly been an interesting discussion, and obviously there is no "right answer" to the question... I guess it's just a personal thing, and we all do what's best for us (and our snakes). I do want to convert them to F/T, for all the reasons mentioned above, but at this time it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Plus I'm still waiting for my mice to breed, which could make it easier for me to do both - F/T for those who will take it, and live for the picky ones. Thanks again for all the responses!
