We feed our 24 inch ball python live rat pups, he used to eat regularly he has been refusing food a lot lately which resulted in a much larger rat pup than he has had before, he refused him a few times. Last night he ate, and finally succeeded in catching and completing the kill without striking! I was so proud of him and he is happy with himself, is it normal for ball pythons? I've been watching him attempt to do this over the last few weeks, he would try to wrap them up multiple times then get irritated and strike, he has never been so proud of himself![]()
