Previous owner told me when I picked up the snake that she was a "picky eater". He used to feed live rats, but only "once in a while" and she often didn't take them. Then he took the snake to his friend, who was allegedly a vet, and he convinced him to switch to f/t. He said that she liked the f/t a lot better. He did answer my first email (about 2 months ago) and said "don't worry sometimes she just doesn't eat". I think he was a bit, um, neglectful though, so I'm not just settling for that answer.


I'm willing to give live feeding a shot, although I've avoided it (when I got my first bp I read that the prey could cause injuries to the snake). I'd also happily try mice, gerbils, whatever---I've just offered Kona rats because that's what my other bp takes, and Kona is a big girl!

Oh, and by the way, I'm a "she" too Dana here, nice to meet you all!
