When I offer my experience, I'm not trying to get anyone to change their way of feeding. If they have a way that works for them, then stay with it. I offer the experience in case some people are having problems and want to try some other method of feeding. My snakes are healthy, so I'll stick to my methods. I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone.

The last time I dealt with wild caught snakes was roughly 10 or so years ago.

With that in mind, I'd do what I did then. Get them eating which included live and fed once a week. Maybe every 5 days for real young ones.

They are no longer in the wild so they no longer need to be opportunistic the way they once were.
