Junko,

What were they feeding your snake where you got him? If you can get him to eat FT that would be ideal. Even though this was my snakes first feeding which was FT I can already see the advantages to it. You can stick a bag of frzen mice in the freezer and just take one out to thaw the morning of the feeding day. I enjoy the fact that I don't have to feed my snake live because although I want him to eat I do not enjoy watching another animal (even a mouse) die. Add in the fact that their is a possibility that you snake could get injured from live prey and it's a no brainer. From what I understand many BPs won't eat FT but if yours will I would stick with that and thank your lucky stars.

Good luck! You will feel much better after he eats his first meal. You start feeling like your snakes going to be OK and your doing things right.
