Guys i have a problem. I am new here for i'm usally on Redtailedboa.com but anyways i might be getting a ball python who is 2 years old. But here are the downsides

1. She uses a heatrock in the winter for the snake

Make sure there are no thermal burns, and dump the rock in the trash.

2. The snake eats LIVE rats.

So what? Sorry, didn't mean to be rude, lol. But seriously, it's not a bad thing.

3. She feeds it once every 3 weeks

I don't know about this one, try to get him on a schedule thats ok with you I guess.

No offense taken. I know what your talking about.

Thats because my views have changed.Because I tried live and am now comfortable with it.

well i think he's trying to avoid the whole "oh you're a BAD REPTILE OWNER YOU FEED LIVE!!!!!" sort of thing...I've read the same thread on the other site and i know how anal they are about feeding live. I admit...on this site, i'll say i feed live, f/t, or p/k..what ever works for me at that particular time...but just to save time and avoid a b**ch fest, on the other site i'd say i feed p/k all the time.

edit: bpkid i just read some of your posts over there. Happy to see one standing up for themselves and expressing their opinion.

but over here it feels like if you feed live, you're an idiot.

LOL...nice
