    Yup, stable ambient temps are definitely an advanced technique. We have successfully done it before and it turned out well for us, but we have been keeping snakes for many years and I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. In most cases your safest bet is to provide an proper thermal gradient. In most cases proper husbandry will solve your problems.

    Listen to those who have responded above me. They nailed it. Dealing with picky eaters is all part of the joy of owning a ball python. Keeps you on your toes and guessing.
