I have had this snake since April 2nd and he had yet to eat until yesterday. The previous owner told me he was eating f/t but I found out it was a lie. I have been trying to switch him to f/t but he wants nothing to do with that. He's 3 years old and I guess he's pretty set in his ways so I have no choce but to let him have his way. I no sooner put the rat in his enclosure then he was on it. I feel relief that he finally ate but I'm not real happy about having to feed him live. Oh well, I'll get over it.
