Routine, routine, routine!! ... That is the secret to feeding ball pythons ... Pick one method, on the same day each week, and do EVERYTHING the same each time ... before you know it, your ball python will be telling you when it's time to eat.

I have to agree here. Adam sold me A'Kashja no Thursday and said he feeds on Mondays (Ironically the same day I wanted to feed). I emailed him about the routine he used to feed her. He emailed back and I did as instructed. NOT 1 PROBLEM! She ate as soon as the rat pink was offered. No hitch whatsoever. I've also heard many others say that their snakes become accustomed to a feeding routine and react appropriately. For my own diagnosis it will take me some more time and practice, but just based on what Adam says here, it proved true with me last night.
