Ball python refusing food behavior?

[Zincubus]

Many snakes feel braver (to strike & grab prey) when in their hide...this is typical ambush behavior that occurs in the wild too. If he only wants to eat
every 2 weeks, I'd take his word for it & only offer every 2 weeks.

Perfect post in my opinion !

To the other guy .. Royals are nocturnal like many other snakes so ONLY offer food in the evenings , ideally in dim lighting .

Wait until he's 'settled' under his hide and dangle the WARM mouse at the hide entrance - he will grab and eat it in the hide . You warm the mouse with a hairdryer and offer it IMMEDIATELY whilst it's still warm .

Also if it won't eat every week as two of mine won't .. offer every 10 days ..
