I have to use both live and f/t. I would love it if all my BP's ate f/t but only about 2/3 consistently will. Most of my babies willingly took f/t on their second feed after initially being fed a live fuzzy mouse. I was unable to get any hatchlings to feed on f/t without first offering a live food item. I have some adults and yearlings that I did not raise from hatchlings and those make up the majority of my live only feeders. Most of the yearlings I did raise from hatchlings still eat f/t with no problems. I have one adult female that will only eat f/t large mice now, she used to eat anything. I also have a couple snakes that will wrap a f/t up and then not eat it. Those particular snakes bins are labeled IDIOT so I know to check and be prepared to feed them live(they will swallow live). I always try to feed the live eaters f/t hoping they will switch- they seldom do. Andy Paulison.
