    I was wondering how many here have Ball Pythons that aren't eating.
    I was able to feed my ball pythons last wednesday do to the fact that I had no power.
    I tried feeding them this saturday pre-killed for the first time, and they wouldn't take it. So I put them in the freezer, waited till midnight to try again. No luck again ...
    ... tried today ... no luck.
    I'll try Wednesday again and see what happens.
    Why do the go off feed anyways?
    I doubt its breeding related because my ball pythons are still babies.

    7 weeks now. This week i'm trying an even smaller rodent than last week. They are both nice fat males, and this is about that time of the year. I'm not extremely worried yet. Andy went for 4 months last year.

    My BP's been eating fine, but my VB's going on 7 weeks now (not counting the regurge). It's so frustrating.

    It truely is frustrating, I just want to break down and cry. :(
    She's a baby in my opinion only 4 months old, and around two feet.
    I'll try my very best to get her back on feeding.
    I think it might have to do with the smell.
    The ones I bought don't smell like rear-end. Maybe its cause they're pre-killed a day ago.

    Blink, have you tried scenting?

    I fed her F/T Rats before without having to scent.
    So I don't know what's going on this week.
    Maybe it's cause I didn't feed her on her usual day.
