yeah cant get too bummed out if it don't work. i was looking at B.P's for sale online, a website, I wont mention its name, but it tells you what the snake is currently eating, i was quite surprised to see some older snakes(9 months and up) are still eating live mice and rats, whether the breeders are actually trying or not trying to teach their B.P's to eat F/T, i wouldn't know, but probably half of the snakes, even young ones, under a year, have made the change to F/T, the odds are in my favor only IF i do everything right!
