    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Feeding ball python

I'm pretty sure none of us know what your local prices are on live feeders.

Though it is theoretically possible to keep a ball on only mice, most folks will switch to rats ASAP. Also, most folks will switch to F/T if at all possible, for cost, convenience and safety reasons.

What do they cost for you? I’m going to big name stores like petco and uncle bills to buy them. Also do you know how to go about switching from live to frozen?
 
I breed my own, so I have no clue. I wouldn't buy a tourniquet from Petco if my arm got cut off, so I can't help you there, either. I guess you might ask at the store you'll be buying from what their prices are.

Switching from live to F/T can be as simple as skipping a feeding or four and then offering F/T on tongs. Sometimes switching from live, then to freshly prekilled for a couple feedings, then to F/T is more successful.
