This girl goes off FT pinks at times during the year but will still jump on live.
This last pic of her mouth lession is from a few weeks ago. It seems to have gone away now after another shed

Great series of photos Doug. Her mouth looks like its healing well too. I have one that just stopped eating two weeks ago. I will try a live one. Thanks for the post.

A good trick if you have FT but they want live is to have a FT pink ready and slide it in with the live one. The snake thinks its still eating the live one.

I did something similar to get my female Cal king to eat: I fed her an anole and then slipped the rat's nose in her mouth before she was finished. It worked like a charm.
