    Try feeding an hour later ahha. I just tried to feed my boy at 10pm which is the schedule I feed him. It took 4 tries of reheating the rat and guess what at exactly 11pm (10pm prior) he struck the second I opened the doors to his cage.

    Seriously though it was really annoying.

    My ball python just ate his first rat fuzzy (switched from mice) while in full shed.. struck it within 2 seconds.

    My dumeril's boa won't eat for anything.. go figure.

    It can be frustrating. I've just come to expect numerous refusals from my ball pythons at this time of year. Most of the females are eating fine, but right now all of my males except for the baby have been refusing food. I think you get to a point that it doesn't bother you anymore, knowing that its typical and that bigger ball pythons can go months without food with no ill effects. At this time of year I just thaw slightly over half as many prey items as pythons and offer prey to everyone weekly. I keep my boas on the same feeding schedule, and they are happy to eat up any leftovers, so there is never any waste.

    Mine ate! I had one that didn't eat for three weeks though and I started worrying. She is only 126 grams. She ate last night though!:)
