    sup. hows is everyone. im new here decided to join to lean more about my ball python. (pic in avi) . i have had lots of problems getting it to eat. i have had it for 3 months and just got it to eat 2 days ago. i was trying to feed it frozen fuzzie that were warmed up i even dipped it in chicken broth and it still wouldn't take it. lol i even tried live and it still wouldn't eat. dont wanna go live just because i dont wont scars on my snake.

    i got it to eat about 2 days ago by squeezing some brains out of the fuzzies head. and my ball ate it as soon as i gave it too him.. i dont really want to keep doing that our get him used to it. so anyone that has any other tips let me know.

    :welcome:to BP.net. Hopefully feeding will be a little smoother for you and you won't have to "brain" them every time.

    go live then transist into f/t. If your only feeding small prey items you shouldnt have to worry about rodent teeth puncturing snake skin yet. If you are worried try f/k instead frozenthawed.

    Welcometo BP.net :gj: In order for me to help you with your question I would need to know what your set up is like and your temps. Also, how big is your ball python and is it WC or CB?

    Here is our caresheet for you too look over also:

    Welcome to the site.
    As Boanerges stated, a list of husbandry would be great so that we could help you figure out if it is preventable.
    Best of luck.
