I feed Captain Hook with Bar-B-Que tongs when I feed her F/T or P/K. She eats like a champ and has never refused a meal whether live, F/T or P/K. Well until recently but that's because she was only a couple days from going into blue. She only has the wobble with F/T or P/K but with live she strikes and constricts immediately as soon as it comes near her. Ivan is like that too but he's only ever eaten live.
