Hi everyone -

I am new to this and have the usual new question - my BP wont eat-


I have had him for about a month - he is a about 17 inches long.

The prob I am having is that he is not eating.

I have been following husbandry tips both on here andfrom a book called 'ball python care'

the temps all seem to b correct i.e. (90 basking area and 80 cool area) The humidity is around 50% he has 2 hides which he seems to like. I have wood chippings as the substrate. The tank is not to big (sam greound space as a 20 gal however it is half the height. It si in a quiet area - he has not shed or shown any signs of shedding

He seems to be very inquisitve and moves round quite happily. However I am a bit concerned about him not eating. Is it worth trying Assisted feeding? I do not wish to offer him n e thing live.

The breeder told me that he had been feeding and they didnt have n e problems. Any suggestions?

I am trying to do everything right but this is so frustrating as I am sure you all know.

hope you can all help
