Bullsnakes that aren't handled often can grow to become aggressive overtime, especially if they're only handled when being fed.  When handled more often they tend to become more docile and less defensive.  If taken care of well and handled frequently they make great pets!

Feeder Sizing

Bullsnakes are constrictors and can generally eat 1 - 1.25x  the widest part of there body. However if your feeding 1.25x it's girth it's recommended that you make your feedings less frequent.  Be careful of what you feed your snake as certain rodents can have green belly, mites and other diseases if they weren't properly raised & euthanized before packaging.

Feeding Frozen Vs Feeding Live

Feeding a Bullsnake live rodents can be dangerous and is not recommended.  Captive bred snakes specifically, don't gain the instincts that they normally do in the wild and are much more susceptible to injury. If you leave live rodents in an enclosure with a snake that isn't hungry it may even get eaten by the rodents themselves.  Live rodents also carry potentially dangerous diseases and pathogens that frozen rodents are much less likely to have.  Lower temperatures help kill and prevent growth of diseases which is why it's not only recommended to use frozen feeders for your snakes safety but also your own health.
