Frozen tends to be alot cheaper because you can order in bulk and get a price break, where as with live its really not realistic to get 3 months worth of rats at a time...

As far as getting your guy to eat, the paper bag trick always works well for me. All you do is put a live rat pinky in a paperlunch bag with your snake (never do this with a live mouse or rat that has its eyes open, teeth or any means of hurting your snakes), and put that in the enclosure incase it gets out. Leave it over night and a majority of the time it will have eatten.

Works for me, hopefully for you too..

good luck.
