thats really tough Cletus. I feel like you need a thread of your own. This last time I had to work so hard to get my guy to eat, I did a goggle search on reluctant feeders and found a utube video by one guy who shared his trick. He picks reluctant feeders up by their tails, not at the end, but about a third of the way down, hangs them upside down, then offers the food. He says it works about 30% of the time...
i wonder what what it is about Ball Pythons that makes them so reluctant.
