BALL PYTHON WONT EAT 2nd WEEK

i just want her to eat

Don't worry about it dude. Patience is the name of the Ball Python game. My girl has been off feed since mid April. It's frustrating, but sooner or later they will come around.

One of my bp did not eat for 2 and a half months,

No need to worry!

I had a smaller bp go off feed for almost a year.

like everyone else said, calm down and dont worry.

I have one who is on his first strike and it is hard but just dont fret he h=is 3 weeks into it and shows no signs of relenting

What do you have her in? Large tanks make many BP's feel very insecure and go off feed. Security is a stronger desire for many BP's over food since they can go months without food but could easily become someones lunch if not safe.

I would keep her in a small enclosure, tight hides, covered up so she feels real secure and you should have more sucess.

Large glass tanks can freak out many BP's especially if they have just been moved into one recently. If you are useing a glass tank fill it with lots of crumpled up newspaper so she can hide and not be seen easily, this may help her feel secure and think about food.

Best of luck.

I have had a snake go 6 months so patience is key.
When you have sucess you will know what she likes and what makes her feel comfortable.

its a 28 qt tub heat is perfect along with humidity but when i put the food in it just roams around like nothing. do u think its cause the owner before me use to feed it out of its tub in another tub

Big deal.

Many reptiles are skiddish to eat for a new owner. Add in the fact that ball pythons are notoriously fussy eaters, and you have nothing to worry about. If you get to two months without him eating then MAYBE you would start to worry. I wouldn't be worried if I were you.

yea i thought so just checking do u think its ok to try to hold it or should i wait till it eats
