A 40 gal breeder tank is much too large for a young ball python. They do NOT need a lot of space. They aren't that type of animal...its common for new keepers to think that giving them a huge tank makes them happer - it doesn't - it makes them nervous, feel less secure, and less inclined to feel safe enough to eat.

That combined with the force-feeding and low temperatures, you've got a perfect recepie for a non-feeding ball python.
