    Re: Switching from live to f/t help!

    Well if you do go the f/t route I'd order them from Big Cheese Rodent Factory. They have a $25 flat rate shipping sale going on so you could order small rats from them. They are the best in my opinion. Also your not underfeeding at all. Small rats are a perfect meal for your girl.

    I just checked them out, thanks so much! I noticed they come in packs of 15... I think I might get a frozen rat from petco and see how that works out before I actually spend $18

    You can try a couple things. I would first try rubbing the f/t in some tuna, idk why snakes like the smell, but they do. If that doesn't work, try "Head splitting" the f/t. it can be qute grotesque but it works, just look up how to do it online.
    I love my meat noodles!

    Re: Switching from live to f/t help!

    Just yesterday I had some success with this. I used to just dangle the mouse/rat by the tail. Then I got a tip about the " zombie mouse dance" basically you pinch the scruff of the animals neck and walk it on the ground doing your best to mimmick a real mouse.

    Do you keep doing that until your snake strikes? Or do that until he/she is interested?
