    All my snakes only eat live mice. Even my biggest normal bp, we have tried giving her rats, she absolutely will NOT eat them.

    Pretty much the same now but I breed ASFs and won't breed rats because of the smell, so I buy some every week, week and a half. I also have some that only go with ASFs, so that puts a major damper on building up a good supply.

    Re: What do you feed you Ball Python?

    A combination of f/t med. rats and large mice, depending on the size of the snake. An occasional live mouse, but I don't believe that live rats are worth the risk.

    Re: What do you feed you Ball Python?

    I feed fresh killed mice. Recently I had a problem with my normal ball python female. Recently I mean up until an hour ago. She hasn't eaten since October 8th. I have tried everything from live, f/t, asf trickery, to I just read a forum for force feeding and it was talking blah blah blah about them coming from africa and they eat gerbils. Well bam, tagged and swallowed in 45 seconds.
