My mom bought me my ball python from a pet store for Christmas. Couldve been a wild catch but im not sure. Dont be discouraged if he/she doesnt eat for a while. I got Max(my bp) on Xmas day. The pet store said he ate the Monday before that (you cant always believe what they say. The just want to sell you something) So we judged off that. So we tried feeding him every Monday for 3 weeks and NOTHING didnt even strike at the mouse we tried to feed him. On the 4th week he finally ate. Just offer food to your snake once a week and if he/she doesnt eat dont be discouraged. Wait exactly a week and try again. If your going to feed it live watch and make sure the mouse doesnt hurt the snake (scrath, bite, etc) and then turn out the lights and let it eat in some privacy. Personally I watch the strike cause its fascinating to me then i turn out the lights and leave him alone. Again dont be discouraged and dont be afraid to ask anymore questions. Were all here to help.
Good Luck!
Corey
