ANY ADVICE ON GOING FROM LIVE TO THAWED?

Xtreme_Visions Sep 08, 2005 10:04 PM

IS THERE ANY SURE WAY TO GET A BP TO EAT THAWED WHEN IT HAS BEEN RAISED ON LIVE? ANY TIPS/TRICKS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

have you thought about a step-up, or down however you look at it, to pre-killed? a p/k rat will still have same temp as live, and if you move it (rat) with hemostats or whatever you use, the snake might think it is alive. with time, you can try to trick it and use a f/t when you think the time is right. just an idea....
