Switching off live feedings

My girlfriend has a coworker who is going through a divorce, and is looking to rehome her Ball Python. It's 2 years old, and has been fed live it's whole life.

If I take the snake in, I absolutely do not want to feed it live. How hard is it to switch a snake to F/T?

Ball pythons are quite different than corn snakes. You will find what you are looking for more specifically at this forum www.ball-pythons.net

Good luck!

Balls have the reputation of being finicky eaters, mostly from the wild-caught specimens that were the only ones available back in the day. Captive bred balls are generally better about eating F/T rodents, but it may take some work on your part. As NH93 suggested, hit the BP forums for info and specific suggestions.
