Please Help, Me and My Baby Ball are Desperate

[Bogertophis]

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.

I agree that it's not the first thing to try, as "booping" will turn OFF many snakes (especially timid ones as most BPs are), BUT...there are some snakes that didn't
"read the manual" & for whom this works well. Gotta read (interpret) each snake...they have their own personalities...and do whatever works.
