Going to be feeding my new ball python for the first time this weekend....got some questions:
1. Live/Prekilled or Frozen? I believe the store that we purchased it from gave it live but told us to use frozen....my boyfriend would prefer live but is concerned about the snake's safety. What do you guys recommend?

2. We are planning on moving the snake to a box, etc. when feeding it.....what do you use?

3. And if we do use live...how long do you leave the mouse in there before removing and trying feeding at another time if the snake doesn't eat?

Any helpful hints would be GREAT!!!!!!!
