I just don't want him to lose too much weight. I'm hoping to eventually breed them so having him starve himself to death is not part of the plan haha. I'm hoping that feeding them in their tanks will help out.

Would live feeding be better for my female since her feeding response is so great? I haven't tried live feedings with her. I've had ball pythons previously and I fed them live since I was young and thought it was cool, I have since realized the dangers associated with live feeding and I've fed frozen since then. But perhaps a live feeding will stimulate her more?

The first time I asked TSK they said the fed him live, but the second they said frozen, so I'm not sure. He ate pinkies frozen/thawed though. I may start trying live rat pups since they can't hurt him if I leave them in overnight with him since that's what it generally takes from him to eat.
