Lol, like what westcoastjungle said to me, leave the pinks for the corns :). Switch to fuzzys, hopper mice, or rat pups, what ever you think.

it doesnt like hopper mice, well at least from my experiences. it wouldnt eat the hopper i tried to feed it, but it ate the pinky, maybe its mouth was sore from that woodchip

Maybe.. Switch to paper towel or newsprint, I did and I love it, wait until next feeding day and feed him a F/T hopper, use tongs and dangle it in front of him, what I do is i make the mouse tap his nose, then he just strikes it. Just my :2cent: But it's definitely worth a shot.

i will try it, can you post a picture of your tank for me so i get an idea for laying it out.

I'm in the same boat. Picked up my first BP today (actually first snake), been watching him all evening. Facinating creature.
Now I have a house full.

1 - ball python
4 - cats (3 common + 1 Maine Coone)
1 - Dog (Blue Healer)
Colony of WC Frontosa Moba
4 - Clown Loaches
20 or so Yellow Labs (Cichlids not canines)

Oh yea,

1 - Wife
2 - Kids

my bp wont come out of its hide. do they usually just sit in there rolled up in a ball?
