I Purchased 2 Normal Ball Pythons a little over a month ago, Male and female. During about the first week my Male escaped and was found 4 weeks Later.Since than he has lost lots of weight and looks super skinny. I thought that he would be eating like a beast after all this. I gave him about 3 Days to Settle and relax and i then Offered him a Live Mouse he refused and seemed almost afraid of it. I then left a F/T Mouse in his Enclosure over night and still nothing. He shows no Interest. How long should i wait till i offer him food again? I Know ball pythons are known for going off feed at times but i have never heard of babys going off feed. Assist Feeding?? Should i ever try it down the road if he still does not eat? I know this can cause stress and i can't imagine how stressed he already is after being escaped for so Long. The Temps in their tubs are all good. My Female is Thriving and eating everything i offer her and shes almost Double his size now.

Thanks Guys/Ladies and please let me know what steps i should take from here
