Ok guys so i got a normal ball python about 2 weeks ago at a reptile expo. it is a male and is n a twenty gallon long tank with two hides, a waterbowl big enough for it to soak in, and aspen bedding. i keep the tank covered so that way the nake feels secure. I tried to feed a small rat to himand he didnt take it, then i left him alone for another week and then tried again. still didn't eat!!!!!!!
he nly six months old and im scared for his health. he has temps of 9 on the hot side and 80 on the cool side. he has humidity of 60%

What shuld i do to make him feed?

Any input is appreciated
