Is pine bedding bad for ball python?

Yes, ball pythons require a moist and humid enclosure. Pine absorbs the moisture and this can increase the chances of your ball python getting a respiratory infection and having a retained shed. Retained shed is where the snake does not shed all of their skin. This can lead to moth rot, tip of the tail falling off, eye caps and much much more.

How do you switch a ball python from frozen rats to live?

Instincts should kick in with no problem, but be SURE to supervise to prevent serious injury to your python. I doubt it should be to much of a problem, though. If you usually dangle the rat in front of the python, do this with the live one. -Side note: frozen/thawed is much safer! If your worried about nutrition you can supplement it.
