Hey everyone, I just found this site, and have been doing some reading!

I am just starting to consider feeding my ball in his tank. I got him March 18th, and he hasn't eaten yet. I have been trying frozen/thawed in a seperate tank. They have been off white with spots, of varying sizes. I have tried refreezing, which seemed silly, and didn't do anything anyway, I have tried setting it under a heat lamp, and piercing the heads... So far nothing. I think I have tried feeding him four seperate times.

Anyway, I was reading here how possible it is to feed them in their home. However, I have the loose aspen substrate, and I read that can cause problems. Is that just that it gets stuck on the mouse? How bad is it? Is it a slim possibility? What other substrate works with ball pythons?

Is the only concern about live feeding that the feeder stinks up the place peeing?

I'm totally going to check out that feeding tips video soon, as I currently have company (who I'm ignoring, heehee).

Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone can offer!
