I gave up feeding ball pythons anything other than live like 15 years ago. Then just last night I unexpectedly had 22 fresh killed but only 7 of them got eaten (with live I often have none that don't eat). Sure some people work with their ball pythons enough and get an ok feeding response from some with other than live but for this species I've found live to be the standard. Of course I’d want a rodent source that doesn’t have parasites to start with.
