Slowly moving to f/t
I'm slowly converting our snakes to f/t. Last night I converted another one, but that means that I'm only at 2 out of 5. I'm just establishing a feeding schedule with our newest addition, a common boa. The feeding response of the BCI is rather strong, so I don't have much of a concern.
The two trickier customers will be my KSB and my King Snake. I tried the King Snake before, but it became quite aggressive as it grew hungrier. I might try the trick of "animating" the dead mouse with foreceps. The KSB will initially take to f/t, but then let go when the prey doesn't struggle. So just triggering a strike doesn't solve the issue. The KSB is still small but actively growing (quite a bit) at the moment, so I don't necessarily want to starve it.
So, the BCI is definitely next, probably next week, after I return from a business trip. (The family is too afraid to handle the BCI or the King Snake.)
