hey, thankyou for anyone who will take the time to read my first post

ive had a ball python for about 2 months now, i took the time to make sure that all the temps and humidty are fine.

during about the first 6-7 weeks there was no intrest in prey whatsoever and was feeding well before i purchased him.

recently i moved him from large exo terra hides to homemade tighter fighting hides and has been striking very fast at its prey. i have been offering only medium mice so wont be too large.

problem is as the title suggests, he keeps striking at the mouse but nothing else. after about 3 times at striking i leave the mouse in front of the hide, but doesnt eat.

any ideas why this would happen
