    I'm pretty sure you did get good advice, you're just too ignorant to take it. How is it that you, someone who as far as I can tell has kept one ball python for ten years, know more about these animals then people who have kept multiple for far longer then you. Regardless of whether you're keeping the animals as breeders or as pets they are still animals that you love. Let's be real here, with the market the way it is now there's no one getting into the hobby as a way to make fast cash, they're in it for the love of the animals.

    Yes, you should switch to frozen mice, then to frozen rats. Tub feeding really makes no difference. For the first eight years I kept these animals I always tub fed but the main reason was because I was housing two snakes together (which was stupid) as soon as I separated them I started to feed them in their enclosures. Are they now savage monsters? No! Also before you say something about them being tamer because they started off with tub feeding this is just plain not true. All of the animals I picked up since then (including a carpet python) have always been fed in their enclosures and they all have awesome temperaments.

    If you have multiple people telling you the same thing is it possible they're wrong? Yeah, but it's less likely. Call it confirmation bias if you want it's still true.
