Unfortunately some people don't have 5, 6 or 7 weeks to continue offering FT items to snakes that will more than likely not eat them. I'm glad that worked for you, I truly am.. However, I will never force any of my collection to eat FT... When they are off food for a certain amount of time I try live.. That simple.. I completely understand that people want to feed frozen thawed and there is 45 methods to thawing them out and dancing them around I get it... At the end of the day everyone needs to understand that when buying a snake at some point you have to be willing and able to feed it live prey... Simple as that.. I don't believe in making an animal go weeks or months and once a week shoving a dead rat in their face that was blown probably too hot with a hair dryer.. Sorry, just my two cents...
