I got a female ball python back in October and she still hasn't eaten for me. I have tried mice (I was told she would only eat mice when I got her) both frozen and live, and the same with rats. I have 4 other snakes in my rack and all of them eat just fine. They are set up with paper as a substrate. This is the only thing I have not tried changing. Would changing the substrate help? How long can a ball python go without eating? When should I consider assist feeding?
thanks.
