I only have two snakes, a bp and cal king, but you don't see me parading myself around this site like my.... yeah... don't stink. The cal king eats live because he's wild caught, he eats mice which are small but still he eats live. My bp eats live as well, I've tried switching him over to f/t and he just won't have it. He looks the dead rat like I'm stupid and then goes back into his hide. He gives the same reaction to pre killed. Except the one time he killed the rat then got distracted by a bird flying by the window and I held the dead rat in front of him and he took that.... anyway. I would prefer to feed f/t because it is "safer" if done right, but feeding live is safe if you do it right to. I wasn't going to reply to this thread, but I figured why not I'm a bit of newbie when it comes to pythons, I've been keeping colubrids for a lot longer, so there's a newbies perspective for you b.o.s. Please don't scare those that want to learn away.
