I have got to vent.... this is one of my peeves... I understand that there is a rare, and that is a very rare occasion, when a snake will completely refuse to take a frozen/thawed prey item. I have had several snakes that have all been successfully converted over to F/T, some were very difficult to convert. The trick is offering the prey properly. It can sometimes be a lot of work, but patience always will prevail.
Why is it so hard for people to understand this?
Why F/T prey items are so much better for thier snakes?
Why is it that some immature keepers still think that snakes need to "hunt" live prey?
Worst of all....
Why is it that some people do it simply because it is cool when a snake goes after live prey?
Heres a link to a nice article published on rodentpro.com but written by Melissa Kaplan....
