Re: How can i get ball python to eat f/t rats?
I hope the o.p holds the sharp end and uses the handled end of the scissors to hold the rat.
That would work but it definitively isn't the safest way.

a week ago on Saturday I got 7 new ball pythons. The last owner only fed them live. I just finished feeding them today and got 4 out of 7 to eat the f/t. I left the rats/mouse in the other 3 till tomorrow morning. I think all you need is patience. I waited 20 mins holding the rat for one of my guys till he got it.

In agree people switch for many reasons. Was just saying that i wouldn't worry to much if you can't get them to switch due to how hard it is to get them to eat in the first place .
