i just got my first ball python

[k2l3d4]

i would just want every one to know that i did put in some aspen bedding and he is enjoying it MUCH more than he did the cage carpet he is wandering around and exploring plus he seems way less stressed however i have had soem feeding problems with him not that he has a weak feeding response he struck at the f/t rat several times but missed at least a dozen than i droped the rat accidentally and he thinks im the food now and wont stop striking at me! but eventually i just got him back in his cage and im going to give him anoter try at eating on Friday probably.

but yea so feeding response is great but he just cant seem to figure out what exactly he is supposed to eat.

any advice ? any questions maybe i can help some of you guys now ?

Is the good how enough?????? I have a garter that will mistake me for food if my hand is warmer then the mouse....... Just a thought... try heating the food a bit more, and possibly keep the hot water next to you when feeding so you can rewarm the mouse if it starts to cool down.
