I can't agree with Danktat enough! When I originally got into snakes I fed live. After hearing many horror stories, I decided not to wait until something bad happened so I did p/k. I now only feed f/t. I'm of the belief that if they won't eat f/t, then they don't get fed again til next week. I believe that most snakes will switch pretty easily with patience and research. My Colombian female was fed live til I got her, and she never misses a f/t meal

I don't think I really need to say anything about housing snakes together that has not already been said. People are not making this stuff up! Best of luck to you and your snake.
