Well,

I'm a new guy and I mean brand new to the forum, some would call me old as far as age goes LOL!

First off, this is a great post because I'm here with my son's (our) 1st snake ever. She was fed before leaving the store and we've yet to feed.

The owner of the reptile store, who'd I'd call an expert said exactly what the experts on here are saying. "feed in the tank". He's got about every type of python, boa, king, corn, milk and whatever else there is in the snake world, plus huge lizards. Its like a zoo : )

It's advice I'm going to follow. I think I'll have good luck with it and if I have any chance of switching from live to F/T'd it will be done in her tank.

It will take a lot of guess work out of the process and make things easier.

I was glad to hear most here fed in the tank. However, no knock on people doing what works for them, I'm a newbie so what do I know.

But thanks for the great thread.
