Thanks for this! I got an incredible deal on a Toxiconda hognose because he’s only eating live. I’m a moderately experienced keeper – but this will be the first snake I have to transition personally. Wish me luck.
My Ball Python hasn’t eaten in about three months hes a year old and just tried to feed him tonight he didn’t take it I’m gonna leave it in over night I’ll see how it goes but just gotta hope if anyone has any tips that weren’t included in this video please lemme know
I have 5 ball pythons who have all eaten live their whole lives. I have only one who ate my frozen thawed. So frustrating.
Got him to strike and eats it. Did the present, keep it in there for 2 hours. Blew dry to get hot then present again ass end not face to face, seemed better
I’m trying to convince my baby dumerils boa to eat frozen. She did eat it the first time I fed after letting it sit under the heat lamp, but the last two times I’ve fed her, nothing. She is interested but won’t grab it. Had no idea they like quail! I actually have a flock of quail so raising some wouldn’t be an issue in that way, except I’d feel bad raising these cute little babies and handing them off to a snake. Maybe I’ll try trading eggs for snake food lol. My ball python ate her last discarded mouse though, which surprised me because it didn’t seem worth it for him to eat but he was very clearly looking for food so I figured he could have a little snack. I’m going to offer my boa a live mouse this week and see if she eats it
