just how difficut is feeding frozen foods for snakes?

[Corey209]

I haven't had a CB that won't eat F/T. If they won't eat I leave the snake and feeder in a bag over night in a warm spot of the cage.

All of my adult snakes that I have acquired, and not bred myself, were primarily live feeders when I got them, and I had no problem converting them to f/t, even my Royal Python. All my babies that I've bred have taken f/t right off the bat, as soon as they had their first shed.

Well in the interest of science I will try on the next feeding to feed f/t and see if he will take it I just feed him a huge meal on Monday I usually feed every monday (since talking to members)I was told to keep a better schedule remember I'm new to this so we will see I am curious I would like to save myself the stress of worrying if my snake will get hurt but I also enjoy my snakes disposition so I have been worried what a switch would do .....then if successful I'll tell u where to send that hundred bucks. @Aaron_S..wink wink ..lol

most snakes will take frozen thawed prey no problem (all my Carpet eat frozen thawed)

imo its much better as you run no risk of prey biting a snake

i have no issues with live feeding,i just feel frozen thawed is less risky

Feeding frozen is a lot more convenient (for the keepers) and safe for the snake. My ball ate live mice until he was two years old and switched to F/T rats without a second thought. I find that many people whose snake(s) refuse to eat F/T (I work at a pet store and I hear this all the time) are simply going about it incorrectly. A friend of mine recently acquired a ten year old ball python that had only eaten live because he supposedly wouldn't take frozen, and together we were able to get him onto F/T with just a little extra effort. As long as you do your homework it's pretty simple and straight forward.
