Re: How fast can a baby ball eat

Now i have always fed live and dont believe in feeding f/t mainly because of rot and if not properly thawed can be worse than just feeding live.

But what are your reasons to feeding f/t?

And please never walk away when feeding live and dont feed live in the same cage they stay in please move them to a cage that is just for feeding when dealing with live you can create aggressive snakes. And feeding live can be very dangerous if you walk away. I made that mistake with my very first snake as a kid and left the mouse in for days it ended up eating my snakes back up.

THe biggest threat to our snakes is us introducing it to scenarios where it is danger for no reason. There are no GOOD reasons for feeding live that i can think of. F/t prey is perfectly safe as long as you are sensible when defrosting it - basically treat it as you would your own food and the snake will be fine. Snakes being attacked by live prey is a totally unnecessary scenario.
