so i got this new ball python from a guy that didn't take very good are of him feeding wise. under weight, under fed, and fed mice to small for him. since I've had him all he will eat it live. trying to switch him to frozen thawed and tried everything. rubbing the thawed on a love one so it has the live sent.make the mouse dance with tongs. even tap him on the nose to irritate him. which i do not like to do. im happy he's eating very well with live but rather him eat frozen-thawed for his safety. im stunning the live mouse that im feeding him so its not to big of a deal right now but want frozen/ thawed before he hits rat size.i use to breed rats and know how much damage they can do when defensive. also he will not eat anywhere other then his cage. i tried the rubbermaid container, a box, rubbermaid and box with his hides and stuff in it. even went out and bought another set up for him just for feeding with heat, substrate, hides and all. still refuses unless he's in his rank. lol. it wouldst be a problem if i wasn't the only one sticking my hand in the take everyday for maintenance since he knows my sent but im teaching my son responsibility and want him to clean it too. supervised of course. he's such a sweetheart. never bites, s curves, hisses. he even likes his head pet like a dog but since he's fed on his cage i don't want him to mistake my sons hand for a meal. anyone got and ideas what i could do. by the way he is a great eater now with live. never turns down a meal. just want rob switch for safety reasons.and i do supervise feeding to make sure nothing happens when fed live.
