I recently got my first ball python, and he is about a month old. I waited an entire week after I got him home to offer him something to eat (frozen fuzzy mouse), and he didn't go for it. Nor three days later when I offered another.

Apparently, he was eating live from the breeder I got him from, so I thought maybe if I tried live, that he would take it. So I got him a live pinky rat, because I read that giving him something too small and then offering the right size frozen rat will make them convert from live to frozen.

However, he is not even interested in it at all. It is in his cage now, and has been for about ten minutes, and though he is roaming around his cage and he obviously knows it is there, he either crawls right over it or around it.

Now, I have had him about two weeks, so I would think that he is at least a little acclimated to his environment, and he doesn't seem to mind me picking him up and holding him in short bursts. But I am starting to get concerned with the feeding thing.

Any ideas of what to do?
