I would just like to share my amazement at the fact that I went to feed my four snakes different meals then they've ever had before and they all ate! I switched my cali kingsnake from live pinkies to thawed, my Jungle carpet from live rat pinkies to thawed, my juvi female ball python from thawed jumbo mice to thawed weaned rats, and to top it all off my adult male ball from multiple jumbo thawed mice to a thawed medium rat. All of them took the new prey no fuss, they were all fed a week ago. Needless to say I'm feeling pretty good right now
-peace out

Congrats! You have a bunch of good feeeders!
A word of caution about your fine young Ball Pythons though - my oldest female switched to rats without hesitation, and ate them for about two or three months, before going off her feed this past winter for three months. Now she won't touch a rat; just wants live mice. I've gotten her to eat thawed mice when she has already had a couple live, but she's being stubborn.
They don't all do that, but be aware it may happen, and be prepared to be flexible!
cheers,
