Excellent, excellent article! Probably the most thorough and organized article about ball pythons and the topic of feeding I've read to date. My experiences are 100% with everything stated in the article. I particularly enjoyed the "case studies" of individual finicky eaters and examples of solutions. Most new keepers don't realize the PATIENCE needed with raising and breeding this species. It's not uncommon for me to provide clients with assistance on a recently purchased "feeding" ball python that obviously hasn't fed in some time. This is why purchasing from a reputable breeder AND ethical breeder (sometimes the two don't always go hand in hand) are so important.
