Hello all - I am new here and am a proud new owner of a ball python! I haven't wanted one for years and have never owned a snake before. I got Satori a couple days ago from Petsmart and they said that it hadn't eaten in 5 days and was due to feed. They have been feeding it 1 fuzzy twice a week. It would not eat the first day, honestly did not expect it to because I am sure it is stressed. It is roughly 20inches in length so I am not sure how old it is, but my guess is that is young? Anyways I read somewhere to try and put the snake in a shoe box with the fuzzy and leave them there for a few hours in hopes that they would eat. I am trying that now and was hoping if that doesn't work you all could give me some more ideas and input. I am not sure how long he/she can go without eating and I really do not want anything bad happening. Thank you and look forward to hearing your ideas!!
Thanks - Kim
