I hate Ball Python's

Mine refused until I heated the rat and laid it in his hide over the hot spot. Walked in to take it from him, cause I assumed he wasn't going to eat, and he had it half way down. I just froze and prayed he didn't let go of it, haha.

Mine refused last night too! After eating great for two weeks straight! Hmm... weird. Little punks. Your title sure caught my eye, though!

ROFL yeah I just wanted to vent everyone was eating great and my pied girl has never missed a meal so I think they all got together and are trying to just stress me out :weirdface Silly snake Now I have a feeder rat in a 10g for a while good thing the store will take him back tonight :rolleyes:

I thought about that but I get grumpy when I dont eat and the wife said o to that Idea. Besides I am sure they could wait me out on that one :rofl:

How do you guys "heat" your mice?

After they're thawed I just put them in hot water or you could you a heat lamp or something.

X2 It's my heat lamps sole purpose.

I let them thaw in the fridge overnight in a special snake only tupper ware container. Then heat them with hot tap water 5-15 min then hit them with a blowdryer and feed. The blowdryer scents the room and usually gets everyone ready to feed :) Most the time :rolleyes:

I put mine under my desk lamp on the screen to his tank after they've been thawing in the fridge for a while. He gets reeeeeeeally interested in the top of the tank all of a sudden :P
