Ahhh, BRB. To be honest, I was speaking of Boa Constrictor. I know so very little about BRB, I probably ain't the best person to advise with those. But, I imagine any snake, with a little patience, will switch over with out too much problem. I even feed my Rattlesnake rescues F/T with no problems. And they are wild animals.

Just don't get discouraged if they refuse at first. A trick that works for me is simply making them skip a meal if they don't take it readily. I still do that. If you refuse a meal around here, you wait till the next scheduled feeding. LOL

You may have to dance it around with tweezers or something. The pitter patter of little feet, and movement can help stimulate a response. Leaving it lying on the warm spot over night is another trick. Many snake ssp are more active at night, and will eat more readily during these times.


Hope that helps
