so i have had my first ball python (normal) for about 3 weeks. i have been offering a live "hopper" mouse each week since i have had him with no luck. also been offering F/T in the mix to see if he would eat that. But tonight he finally took the live one! what a neat thing to watch. took him about 15mins just to get the thing down. thought id share my experience with you guys. great site with tons of info!
