Ball Python not eating

[Craiga 01453]

I said if he didn’t eat when offered I would try again 2 days later. It’s not like I’m not willing to feed him bigger mice. If you can tell me how to get him to eat hopper mice then I will gladly do it. I rather feed him mice too small frequently rather than try to force him to eat bigger mice that he just drops. I should have named this something different because he does eat but I just can’t get him to eat bigger mice. After the one time he shed the wrinkles have never come back. He’s actually kinda chunky for his size but he’s small for his age. I’m not gunna say I did nothing wrong I know I fail somewhere but I have never starved my snake. So please if you know how to get him to eat bigger prey without him dropping it I would love your input.

Have you TRIED bigger prey???? From what you said you've only tried pinkies and hoppers.

I honestly want to help you here, I'm passionate about these animals and love helping people enjoy theirs.

But you're going to have to basically forget everything you know about feeding. Wherever you learned is a million percent wrong. So let's work together from scratch.

Oh, and PLEASE unplug your UTH until you get a THERMOSTAT.
