I do it my way because it works. I don't tell you how to feed your bps do I? And I didn't say that all bps are better to switch when older. The very first sentence was that it all depends on the snake. Some will eat rats. Some won't. Some take time to switch. Some will never switch. Everyone needs to stop taking everyones info with a grain of salt. Do what works for you. Try new things. I'm only posting from my little bit of experience. If you don't like it then don't read it.
