I feed my snake live prey in another "tank". Call it a large cardboard box.
She won't eat during night for some reason. I thought they were nocturnal which confuses me even more. Each night she'll come out and try to get out for half the night. When I feed her in the day, I just take her out of the hide and put her in with the mouse. She'll eat right away.

I hear snakes can get parasites from live mice. Anything to look for at the petstore?

And what does FT mean? I know it refers to frozen food.
I think its unnatural for the snake to eat prekilled food. Whats the plus of prekilling animals for your snake?
