Is a ball python right for me?

5 out of 6 of mine take f/t fine but the other will only take live and thats once a month before a shed. So it all depends on the snake. If you want an animal that eats rodents you should be prepared to feed live if that's what it wants IMHO. There are other snakes that have been mentioned that you won't have any problems with in that aspect. And how would forcing food down an animals throat just to make yourself feel better not be animal abuse? Honest question

Now see this here is why I genuinely avoid herp pages in general and why I considered not asking at all.

Honest question, pfft. When you do something uncomfortable to an animal -for its own good- its not animal abuse, otherwhise vets are quite the animal abusers indeed /sarcasm

I guess i'll just stick to my corns.
