My new ball python that I have got from a friend has not ate since I have had him. It was three days after I got him and he refused to eat the rat I put in the cage.. Well I got up this morning, and he had tore down some of his plants in the cage?? I wonder is this him telling me he is hungry?? I am going to try and feed tonight... I got some of the feeding tongs, that way the rat is not completely running around the cage. Do you think I should try it...
