My question is why on earth would you want to take a snake that is already eating well on frozen/thawed rodents and put it back on live? Thats a little backwards.

The rest of us try and strive and fight and struggle to GET all of our snakes to eat the F/T rodents but many wont. Its so much easier on you, your wallet and your snake if it eats F/T.

If you really want it to eat live then by all means give it live. The problem is. At some point your snake will end up a bite from the rodent. Most snakes that eat live prey end up getting bitten.

Never leave a live rodent in with the snake if you are not watching it. A rat will bite and chew on a snake until it kills it.

And just FYI. I have a few snakes that refuse to eat F/T and every time I feed them I have to hover over them to be sure they grab the rat the right way. More often than not I have to reach in and grab the rats jaws to stop it from biting the snake while its being coiled. Thats not fun at all. Plus my pastel was bitten on the eye by his last rat. It was a pretty bad bite and his eye may never be the same..

Just some food for thought. Dont think im getting on you or anything. Im just trying to explain to you why you should be happy, no wait, ecstatic that your snake already eats F/T rodents.

Most of us can only wish all of ours did.

I thank you for all that good info i think i will keep her on f/t. This fairly new to me owning a snake and i really wanna do everything right so i will be posting often thx again for your help.
