    She was rather nice about it.
    The SEARCH bar is there for a reason
    The reason is that many people are too lazy to use it and there are those of us that are tired of answering the same questions over and over and over and over and over. Get the point?

    The best thing is go get the snake to eat FIRST, put on some weight and then hope your will is stronger than its will.
    Feed what it will eat and let it be happy.
    What is it currently eating and why do you want to switch?

    Its someone on CL. I didnt want to get it if i couldnt possibly make a switch. The kid hasnt fed it in 3 weeks cuz he cant be bothered. from what i gathered it eats live mice. I feed my other snake frozen thawed, its alot easier for me to buy frozen and store them.

    Now that our posts overlapped.
    Convenient for you is not always best for them, be prepared to have to feed live.
    Like I said earlier, feed them what they will eat and let them thrive.
    If there is any question in your mind about it then pass it on to someone that wont have issues with live.

    Really now? Peoples personal ways of doing things??? A simple perusal of the first 8 pages of the General BP Forum would have yielded LOTS different peoples personal ways of doing things when switching over, from which you could pick and chose and learn. Right behind "My BP Wont Eat", your question is the most talked about subject on this Forum. Not to be further rude, but if you look past the first page of threads in the General BP Forum, you'd be hard pressed to swing a feline without hitting a thread on the subject.

    Problem is, few things in life are simple, and while some BPs switch over easily, and some even switch back and forth, some can be very difficult or impossible to move over to F/T.

    Gonna' take your toys and go home? That's not exactly an original move around here...

    Don't take things to heart. Things on the net always get misunderstood and taken the wrong way. Happens to us all. No one wants you to stop asking questions at all, just give the topic a search before posting This may be an instance where you have researched it but still wanted more info and got a bad reaction. Once again it happens! Keep on posting
