Ball pythons?!?

It was their reputation for being difficult feeders that made me not chose a BP. My KSB has had his moments, but not 8 months worth of them, lol.

I want to make a song called, " My BP won't eat". :)

Well, it was feeding day, so I offered again, and BAM, he decided to eat. I will NEVER figure out ball pythons!

Next time you're faced with consistent refusals, I'd recommend waiting a month in between offerings.

Once mine are up to adult size if they eat one week then they don't get offered another feeder for at least two weeks. Makes for fewer leftovers and the snakes are still healthy and retain weight. The only exceptions are females who just laid a clutch, they get offered every week until they're back to pre-breeding weight.
