Trouble Feeding Python
First off I want to say that I do know how majority of the members here feel about life feeding, and I do feel the same which is my concern with my WLp.
A few months ago I added a beautiful white lipped python to my collection. Sadly he does have a few scars on him from being fed live in the past and I har triedy hardest to switch him from Live feeding but he will not take it. I have tried both freshly killed and frozen, he will strike the prey when presented with tongs, but as soon as he wraps and does not feel any life he releases and ignores the fact it is even there anymore.
Currently I am having to flick the mice in the head and paralyze them to where he will still constrict and kill the prey himself. But I was curious to know of anyone else has encountered issues like this before in their collection. I would love to get him switched over to frozen but sadly I don't think I will be able to switch him over anymore. Any help greatly appreciated....thank you
