Live or F/T?

[snakesRkewl]

The only way a larger snake needs to chase their meal is if your using tanks

I would think long and hard about switching any future breeders to asf's.
It takes twice as long to get an asf to size to feed a large snake.
I only feed asf's to stubborn mouse eaters that won't eat rats...
F/T or live is a personal choice, I only feed live to my crew.

my baby ball refused F/T three separate times, and i finally got her to eat a live fuzzy. i have heard of some balls being really picky, refusing food that isn't big enough or if it isn't lively enough.

I just built a rack system for my mice! I think once I get my colony going that it will be better for me! I had a litter of 12 3 weeks ago. Plus had a litter of 10 a few days ago. I also have a female about to pop! So, guess I got it up and going! So, I can go with live or f/t or fresh kill!

I think im just going to keep her on live. She does good on it so why switch her over.

Thanx everyone

It's not really any harder for them. Once they grow up a bit BPs are much more efficient killers. One strike, normally right away, a short constriction, and down the hatch they go.

It's really up to you on what you want to do. If you prefer f/t then go with f/t. I personally prefer live for several reasons, no rat shelf in my freezer, no thawing/warming, no smelly rats in the morning when they decide they aren't eating it, no wasted rats, etc. If they refuse a live rat you can put it in with another one, or put it back in the cage. F/t can only be refroze once, then they are much. I've wasted so many f/t rats....

Wow! I totally agree with you! Im sticking with live feeding
