Hey guys. I've got a new ball python, he's about a year old, 27 inches, I brought him home from the pet shop 2 weeks ago. I saw him eat at the pet store, but he has not eaten since I got him home. I've been trying to feed him adult sized, pre-killed mice.

My question is, if I offer him the mouse (i dangle it in front of him) and he does not take it, how many more times should I attempt to feed him that mouse? Should I try again a little later, or just give up?

I appreciate any advice.
