    Was worried about new ball python and f/t

    Apparently didn’t need to be worried. She had almost no issue and struck within a few seconds. No more mice in the house, and no more explaining that “no, the mouse isn’t your new pet, it’s for MY pet” lulz

    Congrats on your successful switch! That’s such a good feeling. You will appreciate it as time goes by and you look back.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Nice job!!! Not to be a Debbie Downer, but be prepared just in case she refuses f/t moving forward. Im not saying you should expect it, but until they're eating f/t consistently you shouldnt be surprised if they do refuse.

    Odds are in your favor, but im just saying it might be too early to say no mice in the house. many who accept f/t from the first offer tend to stick with it. But with BPs especially, they like to keep us guessing.

    Good luck!! I just didnt want you to be discouraged if she does happen to refuse f/t again.

    I’ve had a ball python before for about 3 years (was a drop off that I housed until it was not angry at everything) so I’m already prepared for that lol. But this is Atleast progress
