    Iv'e had my ball python for about 3 weeks now i got him/or/her as a hatchling, and the very first time i tried to feed it a frozen pinkie and my ball didn't touch it. My ball just crawled all over it. The next day i tried to feed him a live mice and he snapped on it. And i was very excited because everybody should know that ball pythons can go off feed for a very long time. I'm gonna feed him again tommorrow. I will let you all know how it turns out.

    You fed today dont feed tomorrow. Wait till the next feeding or at least 3 days and feed a prekilled mouse.

    I forgot to add that you have to dangle the mouse in the enclosure with a set of tongs or something or else they will pass right over it.
    Thanks,

    Don't feed the next day, wait at least 4-5 days.

    I think THEBOSS knows better than to feed 2 days in a row surely - having been around long enough to know better. Surely we misread.

    Could you rephrase and let us know how many days ago he last ate?
