    Cool Re: Raw Chicken Meat for my Ball Python? Seeking Advices! :)

    I somehow doubt that he would even eat frozen mice because according to my breeder, Lucifer never consumed or even tried to eat frozen mice. He likes it freshly killed. He's a little bit choosy with his food hahaha. Thank you for your advices guys!

    If you know he likes fresh killed, then raw meat of any kind is out of the question LOL

    Honestly, before I would skip meals and wait, I WOULD try frozen / thawed.

    IF it is available

    I have converted all my snakes without a hitch. Granted, they were all hatchlings when I got them, but still.

    Back when I took in and treated some "rescues" I even converted some imports, some of which had to be treated medically first. I always gave them live if that is what it took, would never starve one out of principle. But I didn't give up and even the stubborn ones converted.

    I'm not saying F/T is the way to go. Absolutely not. Different things work for different people.

    But like I said, if it was between trying FT and skipping meals, I'd try FT
