Typically, I prefer to buy directly from breeders, so I know the whole history of the animal, and many of those will have never seen a live rodent. I picked this little one up from a show, and the details were sketchy at best. I was told she was only eating live and had refused F/T. I don't think they were feeding at night though. I feed her two live fuzzies, the switched her over, and she took them with no problems.
If you get a new snake and it is already eating frozen, I would never let that animal see a live rodent. If you getty an animal that you don't know any history on, or a difficult animal, offer live to get it too feed at first, and continue with live/stunned for a few feedings so you can get it in to a feeding routine, and then switch it over on the same routine.
I haven't made any videos. I should make some. I'll get a few up soon.
