    Yeah, don't use boiling water...hot tap is fine. When it cools off after 10 min, refill and do another 10 min. Don't be afraid to leave it overnight either.

    You might wanna soak your python in warm water for about 10-15 minutes in warm water could be some kind of constipation. After the soak offer food again or do a braining or use chicken broth. could be also dehydration. :(

    My baby refused his lunch too...

    I thawed it in hot tap water, when it thawed, I used feeding tongs to grab it, wiggled it in front of him for... Hmm... Ten minutes, before he grabbed it. Well, he dropped it soon after, and tried lunging at me again, so I picked it up, and wiggled it around again. But no matter what I did, he just wouldn't grab it as food. He actually seemed scared of it after that.

    And scared of me.

    And ugh I feel really bad because he's just looking at me like I'm gonna eat him or something... and ugh I think I made it worse than before, because he was scared of the food too... and I just...

    I thought he would be a little better with his attitude by now, but nope, not even a little. He's still terrified of me...

    I'll try again Thursday or Friday, but gosh, I feel really, really bad now. :( Does anyone else have this problem with terrified babies? Because it's getting frustrating... :(

    Also adding one extra hide in their enclosure my make them feel more secure yes I said it two hides shortened time of light exposure also helps give him time patience always make water readily available decrease traffic by his tank, give him another week If he looks like he has thinned to much take him to a vet
