I currently have 5 BPs:



1 converted with no problem to f/t

1 took two tried before he'd take f/t (discovered I had to continue wiggling the rats even after he constricted them or he'd loose interest)

1 will only eat if left alone in a dark room for a few hours

1 will ONLY eat live, despite all the tricks I've tried

1 I just got Sat, and then went into shed, so I haven't had an opportunity to feed her



I'm getting another pair this weekend

1 of which will only eat (f/t wise) adult mice

1 is a good eater



So, it really depends on the snake. Those of us who write caresheets like to stress the feeding issue because someone may be used to good eaters (corns, RTBs, etc), and they need to be prepared for a finicky eater. Doesn't mean they ALL are, tho.
