Swallowing rat while rat is alive..

[Valyrian]

I beg to differ, I have an adult female bp that went from eating ft to only accepting live. I tried to get her to eat ft again and she refused food for 8 months until I offered live, took it in an instant. I suppose I could have tried ft another 8 months, but honestly I got sick of watching her lose weight.

I certainly prefer ft for convenience and safety, but there are snakes that will only take live, ball pythons in particular it seems.

I don't know what to tell you. It's a fact that people don't do that in the UK, yet we have thousands of Ball Pythons that successfully eat frozen thawed.

They're all the same species so the only other reason I can think this is the case is that our breeders start them off on frozen thawed whereas in America they must start them on live in some cases.
