It says database error when I click it so it's not just you. Glad he ate for ya though. I got a male & female afrock that only eat live, pain in the @ss but oh well. Another female only eats f/t.

trick that worked for me when feeding f/t is to worm up the rat or mice in hot water.also extract bit of a brain(poke a pinky's head) and rub it on f/t warmed up mice/rat.

Sounds like the snake took the FT & that you got bit feeding it LOL Most snakes can be easily switched over with a little effort, most folks that feed only live do so out of convience for themselves instead of putting in the time & effort to switch it. The longer they are kept on live the harder it is to switch them to FT. Mark
