My ball python has always been a very good eater, and only missed one meal out of his whole life (he’s about 3 yrs old) and I think it was just because that rat was a little bit too big. But recently, the last four or so feedings he’s been tougher to feed and not wanting to take the rat (one of those for being the time he missed the feeding) but the last 3 feedings he just would get in striking position but not go after it so I tried a couple of things like leaving it in his enclosure. But what I’ve tried and seems to work his by rubbing and pushing the rat on his body until he gets pissed at it and bites it. He is an odd snake with a funny personality and I was wondering if this is just another one of his quirks or if anyone else has to do this with their snakes? Is it possible he’s not wanting the rats at first because they are too big? They’re about 13% his body weight.
