I have a baby ball python that will not eat frozen rat pinkies. I thaw the pinkie rat out in hot water and make sure it's very warm when I offer it. I make it zombie dance. Timothy (my snake) will flick his tongue at it for a few seconds, then act like he wants to be nowhere near it. He went exactly a month without eating (I tried once a week to feed him f/t) and got very thin, before I finally gave in and plopped a live mouse in his tub, which he ate right away.

I have done all of this over the month that I have had him:
- Brained it
- Let it marinate in fresh poopy mice bedding for half an hour
- Left it in his cage overnight on the warm side, twice
- Put a live mouse in a clear container inside of his enclosure while I zombie danced the pinkie

I have even put a live mouse in his enclosure with him and zombie danced the pinkie in his face, and he goes around the pinkie and snatches the live mouse as if the pinkie isn't there. I'm still going to try putting him in a pillow case with the f/t pinkie and putting chicken broth on the pinkie. Any other tips? Am I doing something wrong? Please help. :(
