Some ball pythons are champs about eating F/T prey items right off the floor of their enclosures. It's such a fantastic thing!

Other ball pythons will take P/K or F/T prey, but seem to do a better job of taking off of tongs with the keeper playing a slight game of "tug-o-war" for stimuli. Now I'm not talking about ripping the rodent back out of the snake's mouth, but some snakes need that wiggly motion to get them to really commit to constricting & eating a F/T or P/K prey item.

They're as individual as we are, folks! Just way less complicated.
