That was the last time! I hope...

Congrats on your new snake! He's quite the looker.

I know it can be hard to feed live to snakes, emotionally. I have to distance myself from the whole thing, not allow myself to get attached to the rodent. I've had lots of pet rodents in the past, especially rats. I'll admit.. the first rat that my first snake, Harvey, refused... is now a pet even though I promised myself I wouldn't do that. I've gotten all but one of my snakes to eat frozen/thawed now, and most of them took to it right away - it's easier and also a lot cheaper for me.

I get attached the first time I look at an animal that is in my possession. I really hope my snake will take to F/T rats. It will be cheaper for me also considering live rats are about $4 where I live so the $55 shipping charge that most online dealers have still comes out to be less as long as I get 30-40 rats. I got a quote from Big Cheese for 30 rats it would be $70.95 which would be perfect except that they had a terrible loss recently because of a power outage, losing 70% of their rats, so they won't have any available till the end of December.

If I had two or more snakes food would be a real bargain online... Maybe I should get another...
