    He is such a pig !

    Ok so in some of my first post it was he would not eat did not know how to eat and finally we got him to eat . Now I have moved him upon his prey size the pet store told me to feed him pinkies then I was told by many members on here that they were to small .
    Well he would eat and hide like he was supposed to but then he is out on the 4th day roaming day and night So last week I feed him on mon night at midnight by fri morning he was up and cruising the tank so I got him out and offered him fuzzie ( they call them fuzzies but they are pretty big compared to some i have seen ) thinking maybe he is hungry . Even though it has only been barley 4 days and he took and eat it!
    so then here we are again barley 4 from last feed woke up this morning and he was roaming the tank I took a look around in the tank looked for signs that something just may not be right in the set up all was well temps 79/80 cool 92/93 warm side humidity 55%- 67 % Its been raining alot here it is usually 50% ish identical little coconut hides no poop or pee I can see that might have him bothered . So finaly about 20 mins ago I broke down and thawed out another large fuzzie and offered and yep he took it now he is chilin and seems happy now I have heard of 5/7 day feeds. But 3/12 4 day ??
    Now by no means I am complining i mean it took forever it seemed just to get him started eating but I just wondered is he just trying to make up for lost time ( or meals ..lol )

    I tend to feed my hatchling ball pythons hopper mice or rat pinks right from the start every five days. Mouse pinks or fuzzys are way too small, so your snake could very well be hungry.
    Ball Pythons:
    0.1.0 Bumble Bee- Schnapps
    0.1.0 Pinstripe- Penny
    0.1.0 Super Cinnamon- Cleo
    0.1.0 Albino- Daiquiri
    0.1.0 Low White Piebald- Hershey
    1.0.0 Low White Piebald- Reese
    1.0.0 Paradox Super Cinnamon- Dash
    1.0.0 100% Het. Albino- Jester
    1.0.0 50% Het. Albino Jake
