When to make the switch

[redshepherd]

Thank you! That's kind of what I was thinking but I am new to this and I wasn't sure if I waited "too long" if it would become more difficult to transition. He's so small though and I would rather take a road trip every Sunday than have a sick snake!

It would theoretically be more difficult the longer you feed live, but at that weight, it is necessary to get him eating and put on some weight before trying again. Eventually, when he's nice and pudgy, you can offer a warmed f/t every 4-5 days or so and he can go with skipping a couple meals no problem.
