First i want to say hello. I just bought my first ball python about two weeks ago, brought him home and kept him in a rubbermaid container to observe for any mites, ticks or anything else out of the ordinary, turns out he had mites so i went back to the store and they gave me reptile relief, we checked the other snakes he was housed with and they were clear of having any so we blamed it on the bedding. I treated him as per the directions and kept him in the rubbermaid a few extra days i am now over that hurdle and he seems to be mite free. I offered a frozen mouse last week and didn't want to eat. i have read it takes a ball python two weeks to acclimate to there new surroundings and shouldn't be handled for that two weeks and can then commence with feeding. This past friday i moved him to his aquarium since i have not seen a mite on him in over a week. Since i put him in the aquarium he has been hiding out under his shelter and hasn't really moved except to reposition himself but not coming out from the shelter. I was wondering if i should offer him another mouse today and if i should put him in something else like the rubbermaid for feeding? And also after thawing the mice and the snake doesn't eat do i toss the mouse or refreeze last week i tossed it?
