Thank you again for all of your help! and sorry for all the questions. This is the last one (for now) haha. If I put a small live rat in there and he doesn't eat it, do I just pick the rat up bare handed and take him out. I personally have never handled a live rat in my life so I don't even know if it will be aggressive toward me or not.Originally Posted by Kaorte
You can feed him whatever you feel comfortable with. I prefer live feeding but that is mostly because I have a lot of snakes and I breed my own feeders.
Most ball pythons will take frozen thawed rats, but some have a taste for live that can't be broken
I would say a small rat is a good sized meal for him. You want something that is about as wide as the snakes widest part.
