Both of my ball pythons and my red tailed boa only likes live rats and refuses to eat anything frozen or pre-killed, is it me or the snakes?
What does your snake(s) prefer?Wondering how many snake owners on Yahoo Answers do live vs. frozen mice/rats?
Don't worry Mr. Lopez, it's not you. All animals have preferences, even snakes. In general ball pythons will only eat live. Some can get them to eat FT or PK, but not very often. Red-Tails usually eat either way but it seems that yours prefers live. There is nothing wrong with them or you.Wondering how many snake owners on Yahoo Answers do live vs. frozen mice/rats?
My baby ball python will only eat live, i tried for a month to feed him frozen/thawed mice. When it comes to food, he response better to heat, he also knows the bag that i bring it in.
My snakes get thwacked (semi-live) rodents. We've done frozen prekilled, but we have a few that refuse anything that doesn't at least twitch a bit...
All my collection is fed f/t rodents and chicks except for one ball python that only excepts fresh killed mice.
All my snakes are fed ';Thwacked'; rodents as well. We've used F/T and P/K before, but proved to be less than convenient, time wise.
generally lizards prefer pre-killed, snakes like the live rats better so don't worry it's the snakes not you
