    Jeebuz, it's 6 pages of advice and still no progress??

    When I first received my ball python (about 75-100 grams), he wasn't eating either. He was housed in a 10 gallon tank. Maintaining humidity was difficult. I followed the sticky thread 101 hatchling advice and it worked! Boger provided that link to you somewhere at the start. Tubs also make maintaining humidity a breeze. Make sure to add air holes.

    Imo, 20 gallon is way too big for a 200 or so grams ball python. Something about the size of a 6 or 12 quart tub should suffice, it's nice and snuggly for the snake. Anyways, listen to what Wilbanks said, it's probably similar to what was advised in the 101 hatchling thread.

    Wilbanks did say one important thing. As a Last Resort, They will take the Snake back and "Fatten" her up and return her to me later. That would be a lot of stress for her but atleast she wouldn't continue to lose weight...

    So... Are you going to do that?

    If you are, just say so and no one have to respond to this thread anymore.

    Thomas S- We're truly here to help you (& anyone looking for help), but you disrespect our time & efforts by not reading or absorbing what we tell you, & then you ask the same questions again.

    May I suggest that you re-read this thread a few times & all the links thoroughly because the answers have already been given to you. At this point, it's up to you to follow instructions- it's not as if we can make house-calls.

    Thumbs up Re: BP not Eating

    WHAT are you talking about? i never asked you about moving into a tote for a while, i only asked if it was a good idea to feed in one, while keeping the snakes home in the 20 gallon tank!

    And for the last time, no. You've missed the points entirely.
