    New BP Feeding Question

    Hey guys, this is my first post. My roommate and I bought a very healthy 20" ball python yesterday. We planned on waiting to feed him but it seems as though he's adjusted to his new habitat well, he's very active, not skittish in the slightest and seems to love being handled.
    We gave him a warm f/t mouse and he struck, rolled around it and after some time seemed disinterested and left it at the bottom of his cage. Does this mean he's disinterested in eating, or that this particular mouse didn't catch his fancy? We tried again with a slightly smaller mouse(he'd been fed pinkys up until now). He's currently wrapped around it and we're awaiting results.
    Anyway, any advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

    Just checked and all I see is the back end of a mouse and a very happy snake. I guess all worked well...

    Well, thank you guys already for the amazing info I've found on this site.
