Ball Python feeding

[Bogertophis]

I leave it them at room temperature for a couple hours and then either I'll try and dangle it and see if he strikes, sometimes he strikes but most times I end up leaving it and he will eat it after. Only thing I did differently that time was use a different container to leave them to defrost in

Might reconsider your thawing method, as leaving it at room temp. to thaw causes spoilage which the snake CAN smell & may then reject it. Ball pythons are not carrion
feeders. Thaw until soft in cold water, then warm the prey by immersing briefly in very warm water (not hot, you're not trying to cook it!) and/or use the hair-dryer method to add life-like heat that your BP needs to strike. BPs rely on their heat sensing pits. If he's too shy to strike, wait until evening to prepare his prey, preferably when he's in ambush-hunting mode (peeking out of his hide, waiting for a clueless rodent to skip past him).
