    Why make it sound like its hard task. One of the easiest things to do when getting them started. Why would you be feeding live mice pinkies to a ball python

    They were born last August..been assist fed from day one by the breeder, got them in March & dont think they have a clue how to feed themselfs ..not easy assist feeders either..these are hard work, was advised to try getting them going on pinkys..I normaly wouldnt dream of feeding pinkies to them but got to try what ever
    I have another 09 het female that weighs in at a kilo..the smallest of this trio is an amazing 124g & is an 09

    Well she just took her first meal on her own. Looks like maybe the assist feeding triggered something after all.
