    Help feeding Bp
    I recently got a bumble bee ball python at the narbc, and i bought a live hopper mice because thats what his owner fed him but every time he gets near it and what looks like he is about to strike, he just goes the opposite way and wobbles his head. Its almost been 2 weeks since he has been last fed. Should I leave the mice overnight?

    It's never a good idea to leave live mice or rats in with the snake.

    It's been 2 weeks since it last ate, have you left it alone for those 2 weeks?

    How are you keeping the snake? What are your temperatures?

    It's possible he won't eat if he's stressed, or his temperatures are off.

    x2 for what's been said above. Check your husbandry. What are your temperatures, and what's the humidity?

    Also, you need to allow the snake at least a week without pointless handling before they can be expected to eat. Since you're feeding live, make sure you're always there supervising the feeding, etc, etc.
