Prey fixation

[Vipera Berus]

First you are feeding too much at that size 1 mouse a week is more than enough, if you keep feeding at that rate don't be surprise when your BP goes on a fast.

Aye It is quite possible she will go on a fast, since I usually offer too much food to all my pets.

2 switching requires tough love, you want to switch offer the rat but DO NOT offer a mouse if you get a refusal, this could take a fee weeks or a few months or even a year or your BP might not want to switch at all, bottom line feed what works.

Is it worth only offering rats for say a month or so - if not how long should I try to convert her to rats before I give up on it?

I do know that every species is different so am very cautious about applying anything about corns snakes to ball pythons since they are the snake I have kept. From what I have read Ball pythons are more likely to be fussy eaters than corn snakes so am probably over doing it somehow.
