My ball python Allah(yup, its that) is usually a great feeder and eats almost whenever I offer him food. But since last week, all he has been doing is just striking at the mouse then just pulling back, kind of defensively. I am really stressing out right now because he has the motivation to eat, but it seems he does not have the skill or whatever. I am thinking it might be mouth rot since it affects the teeth and he might not get good grip on the rodent, then he probably finds it painful for him to strike, and then lets go. I have been swabbing his mouth with a 1.5 percent dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide, and still no positive results.


Help!
