BP_Pascal,

Im sorry for being a wiseass but i mean come on dude, theres no reason to type out everything in capitals. It doesnt make your point come across any clearer, it actually makes it ALOT harder to read. (and makes you look like a goober lol). I also read capitals as SHOUTING so it comes off as kinda obnoxious.

As others have said feeding live is perfectly fine. If you really wanna convert it to live it shouldnt be a problem. I personally would start feeding it appropriately sized rats bc then when its an adult you only need to buy 1 rat for it. As RobNJ said its fine to keep it on mice and feed multiple mice per feeding; however, price wise the mice at my local pet store are like $2 a piece. So youre looking at like $12-$16 a week for one snake unless you breed your own which is a whole other ball game lol. I personally feed mine f/t just bc its more conveniently for me not to have to drive to the pet store every week and i can stock up. Plus f/t rodents tend to be cheaper.

As for being afraid of being bit by your bp, theres really no need to be afraid. The speed of it surprises you and scares you but it does not hurt at all. Ive only been bit once. I was lifting my normal girl outta her tank and she was just in a pissy mood and whipped around and tagged my arm. I saw her head jerk outta the corner of my eye but i thought she had just pulled her head back really fast. It wasnt until i noticed the pin drops of blood that i even realized she had bit me. As long as you dont smell like food then theres a very small chance she'll wanna bite you.

If you have any more questions or concerns feel free to post more or PM if you want. (with caps lock off though please haha).
