California king feeding on live...

Hi Everyone!

A friend of mine recently aquired an adult cali king who's been eating live it's whole life. This was on extremely short notice, his first snake, and he also has no prior experience with reptiles. I've had a corn snake for two years, as well as an adult iguana, but that's about as far as my hands on experience goes with reptiles. My friend is basically relying on me to help him learn how to care for this animal, and I'm not completely sure what to do about the problem of the snake feeding live.

Any pointers on how to switch it over to f/t would be great. I also don't know how well the animal was taken care of previously. Thanks! Wendy:)
