Today me and my girlfriend who has also registered on this board (Tati) purchased a Ball Python today. So far things are going great, we have a well constructed home for her in a 20gal tank, that is properly heated and suited for a bp.

The pet store that we purchased the little guy from has been raised on live food. I would prefer to give her frozen food. The pet store advised us that the snake had not eaten in 5 days now and because of this, would have to feed within the next day or so. Out of curiosity tonight Tati put in a thawed small mouse but the python didnt seem very interested. The mouse has now been lying on the ground of its home for a couple hours now and still nothing. What should we do if anything? Is this a problem at all?

Aside from that everything is great, the snake is very friendly and has no issues with being handled at all
