Soaking?

[Homebody]

I wonder if BPs have undergone some semblance of domestication because I can't help but look at how finicky and picky they can be even when under the best care and go "How do you guys survive in the wild..."

I think a better explanation is that when you're short, fat, slow and nonvenomous, it pays to be cautious. So, their survival strategy is to forgo feeding if anything is even slightly amiss. As a result, they also have the ability to go long periods of time without eating. In captivity, this strategy doesn't make sense because there is no danger. I imagine when ball pythons become fully domesticated, they'll be bolder and easier to feed, not harder.
