HELP! My Ball Python hasn't eaten in months

SweetPea finally ate on Friday ... so relieved!!!! Thank you all for your support and guidance through this 5 month fast, I was getting worried!

:D

just curious, did you do anything differently to get the feed or?
:)

I have a similar issue, my ball python (about 8 yrs old) won't eat, can't? He hasn't eaten in about a month and a half, he didn't eat, tried the next week he had a bad experience with a rat that bit his face pretty good, wouldn't eat it, tried the next week with a new one, nothing, gave it two weeks, nothing, so switched back to try a mouse, been a few weeks, still nothing. He strikes and shows interest, but won't (can't?) hold on and kill the lil bastard and eat it. I've checked his mouth, apart from a missing front tooth, it seems normal, bites on face are much better, but he's still not eating.

You should start your own thread so people will see and and be able to give you advice w/o getting confused by the old thread popping up again.

I would, but I don't know how, I'm a computer idiot. :(
