    Re: Young ball python will not eat anything I offer! Help!

    I don't understand why people are jumping on force feeding healthy snakes. There's people that snakes go off feed for 8 months and there not force feeding bc they are healthy. As above said stop stressing your snake or it will never eat, leave it alone!! It was probably throwing up from all the stress of being force fed!!

    What was the snake eating before you bought it? You should be feeding the same exact type. If it was eating f/t feed f/t, pre killed feed pk, live feed live, rats feed rats or mice feed mice. Offer the same meal as it was eating before you bought it, at least until it has ate consistently for a bit. Being with all the stress you may have to start with live and work your way back to f/t. How were you preparing your f/t rodents? You shouldn't of killed the mouse, it is born to kill its prey, you just need to stay close by and act correctly if something does go wrong.

    What are you using as an enclosure? What are you using to provide heat? How are you regulating your heat source, meaning how are you controlling the amount of heat your heat source is giving out? What is your hot and cool temps? What are you using to measure your temps? Humidity level? What are you using to take humidity? What are you using for hides? Are they identical? Need to know everything about your setup to find the problem. Provide this information and photos if possible and then it will be easier to help you.
