    Re: Is it really impossible for some ball pythons to switch to F/T from live?

    Yeah, though some BPs are much harder than others to switch. Really the better question is "Is it really possible for all owners to learn to feed their ball pythons
    on f/t prey?" Not all have the patience, and not all consistently tick all the right boxes* to ensure success. *Like they might warm the prey enough, but offer at the
    wrong times, like during the day or when their BP is cruising the cage. Instead of making the f/t prey look "alive" they've got their rats break-dancing & scaring their
    BP so it refuses, or they still insist on feeding their snake in a "separate container"....so many ways to FAIL.

    I've personally known about 10 BPs, but I'll also take Pit's word for it that some just will NOT take f/t...most can be persuaded with all the right techniques, but
    some will frustrate owners to death...& still refuse. I don't doubt that.
