    I prefer f/t but my BP only takes live, so live for her and f/t for everyone else.

    Thats a really silly answer in my opinion.

    They honestly don't care either way, if you've ever tried frozen you'd realize they can be quite agressive when it comes to them taking it off the tongs.

    Food is food, and if the snake will take frozen, that's what I would go for.
    I've got quite a few...

    Do you call this spoon fed?










    Though I prefer frozen, I have no problem with live feeding, if done responsibly since that is what I did a while back.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    I feed F/T rats, I don't think you're allowed to feed live in the United Kingdom.

    Someone from the UK stated on a previous thread that is against the law there.

    Just got my 2 month old BP... she was fed live from the start, but I just got her about a week ago and have only given her f/t. Since I only have one BP, it's easier for me to do F/T, and she didn't seem to mind the change.

    oh, is it that time of the month again for the frozen/thawed vs. live prey debate?

    anyway i prefer to feed f/t, but have a few BP's that currently only take live. there's merits for using one or the other, it just depends on your preference and what is effect or convenient for u.

    and now for some...

    X2. There's not one certain right way. Each has their consequences if not done correctly.
