So, how many frozen thawed meals do your snakes have to take before you consider them switched to frozen thawed?

Snakes may eat f/t during the summer when they are really hungry and then not eat them at other times. I try to be flexible. All or nothing doesn't work for me.

A ball python never go 100% back to FT when eating live.

They will sure eat, but they always have a tendency to stop eating or refusing meal more than others.

I prefer to start them on FT and never go to live.

The only special case is in baby eating live, they can be switch to FT in the first years.

love this world, don't hate it.

Agree completely. Once you switch them never go back. You know they will eat it. They won't starve themselves as long as they recognize it as food. Stay consistant switching around will cause you more problems than its worth. And a few skipped meals now will pay off as a more consistant frozen thawed eater later.
