    Re: How do you feed?

    So far, mine all eat F/T...as hard as they hit them, I'm not sure my boys know they're dead. I'm sure as our collection grows, we'll run into one that will only eat live, and I have no problems with that. I jump that creek when I get there though.

    Yeah, there should be both. My bps eat live but my hognose eats pre-killed.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Actually, now that I've re-read his post, I realize I screwed up and looked at it too fast. I thought he was saying too many snakes feed on F/T, like there's a ratio we should be keeping track of. Now that I've slown down and read it correctly, I realize he has too many to feed F/T. Sorry for my confusion.

    Re: How do you feed?

    I feed f/t, cheaper and easier and my girl has the feeding response of a rtb, never had any issues with feeding so far(knock on wood).

    I fed live once, because that was what she was on before I got her. The one time my feeder supplier was out of stock of the size of frozen feeder I was looking for, I bought live and fed p/k.

    All four of mine eat live. I get great feeding responses and it's safe.
