Congrats on the new little noodle! I've only had to convert one snake from live to frozen, I offered it a fresh killed mouse and it took frozen thawed from then on. What are you heating the tub with currently? Unregulated UTH can get way too hot without a thermostat if that's what you're using. Keep on devouring all the info you can find and ask all the questions you have! We're all happy to help! I've kept snakes for 20 years and never get tired of learning more about any of it
