Hi, I have had a few snakes over the years, and I currently have five now, and they have all eaten frozen food. But I was just given a Ball Python that needed a home. It was bought by my nephew at Petco and is from Ghana, (probably WC?) and is already a year old. Here's the question, he says that this Ball will only eat Live Food. What do you think the chances are for me to change him over to Frozen Food now? What method do the Ball Python people feel works best for Ball Pythons? Dipping the frozen food in Chicken Broth first? Teasing it with tongs as if it were alive? Paperbag method? He has just eaten so it will be a few days before I will try.
