    Nervous about assisted feeding but might have too.

    Okay guys im gonna try to give you a break down of the last 2 to 3 weeks and why im having so much trouble.

    I bout my Baby Girl ball python at a expo and the man gave me her care guide and said she was born only a month ago and has ate once and shed once. Now keep in mind i have had her for about 3 weeks now and every week she has refused to eat..

    I am sure you guys are going to ask what is the tempeature... the temp are right and the humidity is right as well.... i keep my snakes in the basement where it is 70% humidity on the outside of there cage and 50-55% in the inside.

    The ball python is in a 10 gallon right now and has two hides i will post pics to help with the picture of her tank.

    So back to my question ive tried 3 pinky mice f/t and no go each time the first time i tryed she didnt even look at it. The second time i tryed she didnt even look at so i left the pinky in there for a few hours and had to take out cause i could tell it was getting nasty. The third time she looked a little interest but then totally ignored it.

    Guys and girls i really dont want to force feed the snake plus im not experienced at it so i dont want to injure her or her to resent me i need some ideas fast i dont want her to starve to death.

    One last thing im going to send a pic of her and i want you guys to tell me if you think i should be feeding her a pinky mouse or a fuzzy she is only 15 inches long but very skinny let me know please help sorry so long.
