Re: Feeding f/t for the first time
Well I'm done replying because I rest my case & I now know what I can do but definitely not by any of this.

Ball Pythons are ambush hunters. They can go from dead asleep to knocking the absolute cat crap out of a rat in no time flat. That's not your problem. Not having someplace to ambush FROM, might have something to so with it. But you already have your mind set about that.

Re: Feeding f/t for the first time
I fed in a separate container when i was using aspen. But because of the Aspen. But to agree with everyone else. Your hands will be in the tank more times for not food related things

Re: Feeding f/t for the first time
For the last time I had the rat in his enclousure for 2 hours, Sir. Dangled it at first, got his attention he did not want anything to do with that rat! Even sat it in his tank where the substrate would get accidentally swallowed up too. What don't you understand when I say this

You know, it just dawned on me that maybe your snake just doesn't want to eat right now

Re: Feeding f/t for the first time
I don't think I ever said I knew every single thing about snakes @ what not. I know what I've researched & i spent the last 5 months doing that before getting the ball. & like I said, I didn't just diss your guys remarks on feeding in their tank & i tried. & he still didn't feed so clearly that's not the problem so stop bringing it up? It's irrelevant now. From my first to second post in this forum I've tried what you guys said. So now I just need to wait. There's no point in dogging me on why I think it would be best to feed in a separate container. It's an opinion, not a fact. So it's not that big of a deal. This is getting annoying. I liked this site because it was useful but just because someone does something different than how you do it to your snakes, I'm now suddenly "disrespectful?" Don't call me disrespectful. I never dissed anyone. They give their opinion, I'll give mine. End of story. Thanks for anyone who helped, I'll be waiting a week or a little less to try again to see if he'll take the rat in his cage. Now it's just the waiting game.
