Switching Ball Python to f/t mice?

[vypr]

Random question, but whenever I feed him live should I let the mouse roam until my snake finds him (while monitoring) or should I intervene?

Just drop the mouse in. Maybe remove the snakes hide to ensure it's awake (depending on the time of day you feed at).

That's all. The snake will do the rest.

I figured, just wanted to make his feeding as delicious as possible. Lol

What time would be the best to feed? Night? I'm awake all the time

Usually that's when they are out and about hunting. You can try it then.

Also, get a mouse that's got it's eyes open and is active. The activity will entice the snake.
