It may be a pain now but not going to turn this into a live/f/t debate but f/t is much safer for your snake, not only injury wise but any parasites, mites that may be on the live rodent which is VERY probably are killed when the rodent is frozen. Once they are converted, you have the experience and knowledge and know that you have eliminated several risks that could be posed to your snake. but anyway back on topic. Yes if she doesnt eat this week, try again next week. I had a king snake I hatched last year that would not eat ANYTHING! Live or f/t. Every week I tried something different. I even went as far as wrapping a pinky head in a moist corn snake skin (pinkie in a blanket) because kings love to eat other snakes, in a deli cup over night. Nothing I tried worked. She went an entire month without a single meal EVER.
