In general (I realize there are exceptions), how difficult is it to convert a 3 year old corn from live to FT?

Just try it.Some will take right to it.I would try fresh killed first.Most people use tongs but i just dangle them by the tail.If that works try frozen next.If you cant get your corn to take it let it go a couple weeks without food then try again.If your corn is a good feeder you shoudnt have many problems.The only thing ive really noticed about using f/t is that all my corns will pass on them at one time or another...Paul.

Very easy.
Especially if it is a good eater. I doubt it will miss a beat.
Just make sure the mouse is warm, wiggle it a little in front of your snake and I bet it will scarf it down.

I may get the chance to purchase a 3 year old Okeetee from my vet. He currently feeds her live, but I want her to eat FT as do my other snakes. I'm not experienced with corns and wanted to get an idea of what to look forward to with regards to switching.
