All of the snakes in my collection from Corns and Rats to Boas and Balls eat F/T. I did feed freshly killed rats to my Boas when I first moved because nobody sold frozen rodents. Actually when I asked people at the local pet stores they looked at me like I was making up the frozen rat thing. I have since started ordering my rodents online.

The most I have to do is make sure the thawed rodent is warm and they get eaten with gusto. My Boas like them to be wiggled around with tongs, but my Balls strike and constrict them if I just lay them outside their hide.

I even found out that my breeding female Leopard Geckos that eat the occasional pinky will eat F/T.

One thing good about F/T is that the snake won't get spooked by a moving mouse or rat. I used to keep WC milksnakes as a kid and noticed that they ate F/T without out a problem but were scared of living mice.
