Hello everyone. A few months ago, I adopted an adult ball python from a guy on craigslist. He's 5 years old and I suspect he was kept in a tub in a rack setup for all of his life. He was injured during a live feed, and his eye was scratched. I suspect that is when he stopped eating and why the guy decided to sell him.

After I adopted him, he was switched to a terrarium setup. I've made sure all his humidity and temps are all correct, and he's been living in his new setup for a couple months now. He has shed since I've had him, and he got rid of the damaged skin that was over his eye after his injury, I think he can see out of it just fine. I still can't get him to eat. I've given him lots of time to get used to his new setup and have bothered him as little as possible. He seems to be very afraid of prey, and I can't blame him. He's afraid of both pre-killed and especially live prey. I keep trying live prey because I think that's what he's eaten most of his life. I've tried feeding him in side his terrarium and outside his terrarium, killed and live, rats and mice. He won't eat. He's starting to get really skinny and he needs to eat now!

Anybody know what I can do to get some food in this fella's belly?
