    Re: Fussy ball python

    I found a heat lamp can cook the rodent with its slow radiant heat. The blow dryer heats the rodent up to 100 degrees in seconds, without the risk of cooking it.
    The heat lamp will work too, but is less practical. You have to time it just right

    LOL! You've uttered those words so many times (as have I now) that I can tell it took everything you had to say it again!

    But, yes... Let the rat thaw out for a few hours (close to the enclosure) then heat the rat up with a hairdryer real good and offer. If he keeps showing interest, but doesn't take it just keep reheating it and offering again. If he won't take it, wait a couple of weeks and try it again. All of that is assuming that you have all of your temperatures and humidity levels where they should be. Myself, i'm done playing games with Ball Pythons and just feeding them live...
