" When I switched her to frozen, she went from eating twice a week, to eating once a month. What do you guys think, should I switch her back to live when I move back home?"

Hi, I'm wondering the age and size of your snake. Eating twice a week seems to be a lot unless you have a growing snake and are feeding small meals. Our Royal started out eating once every 5 days, but then as we gradually increased prey size, it was once a week, then when we hit our medium rats about once every 4 weeks. Now we are in the shutdown mode and she has not eaten since Christmas.

You may be in the same boat where eating slows or stops. The folks here told me not to worry and that this is common. I think if your snake is not interested in food right now a live prey item could be risky. But don't hold what I say as gospel because I'm learning too.

With the picky nature of some of these snakes, I feel switching to live could ruin the F/T conversion which is somewhat difficult to begin.

Hope you get it worked out, but once a month with a decent sized meal is not a bad thing.
