Please Help, Me and My Baby Ball are Desperate

[pretends2bnormal]

Not to contradict any good advice but I have an adult bp and most of the time the only way I can get him to take his food is by booping him in the snoot with it. I dangle it every time in front of him and all he does is sniff it until I very lightly boop him and he strikes it every time. All my other snakes will take it after the "zombie dance" he's the only one who won't. I guess every snake is different.

This is true, though I think you have an exception to the norm with that one.

Plus most baby snakes I've seen are even less likely to accept it that way than adults as far as ball pythons go, so that can make a difference too.




OP - You will definitely need to get a thermostat ASAP. It is tied for 1st place as the most important piece of equipment for owning a snake along with the enclosure itself.

I've saved this handy-dandy picture for how to set up thermostat probes, so I'll leave that here in case it is confusing.
