Feeding live?

[pariahdog]

I personally would try to feed live first. Snakes hunt their prey. They aren't scavengers, so they prefer when their prey is moving.

I don't like feeding live for many reasons, one of which being injury to the snake, which is why I recommended fresh kill. I have one who only eats "live", aka live and freshly euth'd because he doesn't seem to notice the difference.

OP, I would try a warm adult mouse first, maybe scented with hamster/gerbil shavings to really get him interested, and if that doesn't work try live.
