I'm no expert, but I will tell you what i know from reading all the posts from the experts here



Captive hatched snakes should be taken to the vet to check for internal parasites. Granted this snake is not fresh captive hatched snake, but it'd still be a good idea to get him/her checked.



I was told when I adopted Damien that he only ate live mice. (as far as i know he is captive born)

Well, one day I decided to toss a prekilled mouse in there and leave him be.

I checked later, and it was gone.

Now he eats prekilled small rats.

I have yet to try frozen/thawed, but I will one day.



Try a prekilled mouse. Either CO2 or cervical dislocation to kill it and toss it in there.

If it's dead it's not like it's going to hurt him, so...
