Okay so my ball python refused to eat again. Yes I know they can go on hunger strikes, yes my husbandry is correct, and yes I do feed live. Tonight he seemed even more excited than normal to eat. His head was out of his hide and when I place the rat inside he seemed ready to strike until the rat sniffed him. When the rat sniffed him, he immediately fled and tried to get away and wouldn't come back out of his hide. Normally I would say this is just normal bp behavior but he seemed really hungry tonight. He ate last about 3 and a half months ago. Do you think that he will take a f/t rat and maybe he's just scared of the live ones because he may have gotten a scratch or something? I will do all the correct thawing and heating process of course.
