Ok first off here is my other thread about my pastel not going into his hides and some other stuff.
http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...d.php?t=107920
NOW he goes in his hides and w/e and seems to be a happy BP an all. HE STILL WON"T EAT!!! Feeding night was tonight. I have been told feed live feed live. So I bought the smallest mouse that they had at the store. Let the mouse sit on top of the enclosure for the scent to kick in and 30 min later here comes Naga see what's up tongue flicking and all. So I give it 15 more min to entice him. So I then open the top and grab the mouse by the tail and put it in front of him. He is scared silly! As soon as it got near him he coiled back and moved in the opposite direction. So I was like ok let try it again, gave the mouse a little flick on the head to claim it down so it dangled there and no dice. So I'm like alright I'll kill it and leave it in the enclosure for a while (10 min) and see what he does. He took ONE strike at it and missed and then after that no dice. Licked it, nosed it, ever thing. Nothing happened. So I'm annoyed cuz this is the SECOND refusal so I take him out and see if I put only him and the mouse in a tub will it work. NOPE! He CUDDLED with the damn thing.So now he is back in the enclosure with no food just chillin.
PS I did have the lights on when I was feeding but didn't know if that would make a difference.
NEED HELP!!!!
Just as some background the same was started on Frozen mice fuzzies. But A dead mouse should be the same thing. Help me with anything. Tried the methods just don't get what is his deal. He comes out but doesn't eat. Help is needed and I thank you all in advance for it.
Here are some pics of comparison, maybe the mouse was to big but I thought he would have given it a try or something......
I know this will come up so here are the temps:
Ambient all around is about 81-83
Cool hide is 74-77
Hot hide is 90-94
Humidity is 50% (It is low I know)
