Well, I'm a frozen thawed feeder, and all my snakes eat it just fine. I'm having trouble with my big bp right now, who is off feed, but as he was eating f/t before that it's not that he won't, it's just that for whatever reason is his snakey brain he doesn't want to eat right now. Personally I feel that it is a lot safer for the snake, but that is just my opinion. I know a lot of people on here feed live and have no problems, and more power to them. I just don't want to risk any sort of injury to the snake.
I really don't agree that they have a better feeding response with live either, if anyone want to come see my snakes hit their f/t prey feel free. The only way their feeding responses could get any better is I guess if they tore the mouse to shreds in a frenzy before eating.
Anyway the point I'm making is this, don't totally give up on f/t. You may have to feed him live a time or two to get him eating but with a bit of work I have faith that he could be switched to f/t. Did you ever post what your temps and humidity are? That could be the problem. There are also many methods of offering f/t to a snake, have you tried all of them?
