    Re: Seriously ball python won't eat. Nothing wrong medically or husbandry wise.

    He is 2 years old, 3ft ish, weighe 760 grams last time he was weighed but I haven't weighed him for a while. His viv is a 4ft & wooden, he's kept on aspen, has 3 hides (one each end and one in the middle) his temperatures are 32 Celsius in the warm end and 26-29 in cool end. I feed f/t small rats every 10 days, he was tricky to start with feeding wise, but he usually eats like a trooper, strikes every time. I think he frightened him self a while ago, he missed. That was a month and a half ago and he's not eaten since. I tried feeding him again yesterday and he struck and let go. I've tried all of the tips, soaking in chicken broth, scenting with hamster... I bought a different coloured rat today and will try him in a couple of days. I'm really worried as you can almost see his spine so anything else you can think of would be great
    he eats in his viv because if you handle him even the day before he goes off his feed. I don't think live feeding is legal in the UK.
