    Best ways to get a picky BP to eat.

    Okay so I rescued my phantom ball Valhok about 2 weeks ago and he still has no interest in anything I've offered him. Do any of you have any tips to get him to eat?

    I think we need more details about your set up and husbandry before we can offer suggestions. What kind and size enclosure if he in, what are his temps and humidity? Does he have appropriately sized hides? How often have you handled him?

    Are you feeding live or f/t and what size prey? If f/t, how are you preparing/heating it? The more we know the more we can help

    If your husbandry is correct, I have never in my life had a ball python refuse a live gerbil
