I've got a large ( over 5') WC California King.

I collected him as an adult in 2000 - and he was big then, so I'm guessing he must be at least 9 or 10 years old.



He's been somewhat of a picky eater - usually he only eats one mouse a week, though last two feedings he's taken 3. I'm not sure why he suddenly has started feeding more, but I'm glad he is.



He's always taken fuzzies though, and I've used those to try and make sure he gets a square meal in the past.



I'm thinking about moving my snakes to F/T. My smaller guys - it really shouldn't be too difficult, but I'm not sure about this guy.



How easy is it to move an old wild caught snake to frozen/thawed?



Most of the time, he won't even take a mouse if I'm right there - he has occasionally, so I think the trick of dangling it in front of him won't work.



When I feed him fuzzies, I just put the fuzzies in a paper bag - and he goes in and gets them, so I'm wondering if maybe F/T fuzzies in a paper bag is the best way to convert him?
