From what the4y told me, the company they get their ball pythons from "supposedly" feeds them 3 times live before threyre shipped off. But the employees I was speaking to seemed to doubt this. It just makes me wonder how many snakes have died because of this in the last three years that they havent seen a single one eat.

I got my little girl Pakul from the very same story only 9 months ago. She's had horrible eating problems and to this day is still almost 300G underwieght and would barely eat for me the first seven months I had her. Shes finally getting better, but she was probably a close call as well and I just didnt know it. The little fuzzy she had after the fourth month very well may have been her first meal.
