Another Feeding Question

[Dirty]

My baby ball python has eaten pre-killed mice before, but usually eats live. I've been trying for a while to feed him thawed frozen mice, but the snake won't eat it. I even tried tease-feeding. Why would my Ball Python eat pre-killed mice, but not thawed?

Because they are incredibly picky. Pre killed is just as good as thawed, its just thawed is more convienent for us and we can keep food longer and buy in quantity.

Id suggest sticking to pre killed and keep trying thawed, but try as hard as you can not to feed live.
