I have a very strong belief that ball pythons only eat when they are hungry, not when we want them to be hungry. They also only eat when they feel safe. The act of feeding temporarily immobilizes the animal and makes them vulnerable. The safer they feel, the more likely they are to feed.
    Three in row .. iam guessing the whole dangling prey in front of her isn't her deal like my other females.. just stick to what works.
