Feeding Problem-Help!

[joepythons]

Thanks for the welcome. Glad I found you guys. You have all been a great help & source of knowledge.

Temps are good. I have not changed the temp in his tank since I got him. He has been eating every 7 days without a problem. However, I did notice the weekend before last, when I was feeding him, that it took him a strange 3 times to kill this mouse. The first 2 times he seemed to get scared as this mouse obviously didn't like getting bitten.

So this weekend, I dropped the mouse in another tank/ box & then put my BP in with him. He got a little exited for a few moments & when the mouse sniffed him, he jumped. Then seemed to get intimidated and lost interest.

Well when you take him out of his home the safe feeling left and he felt unsafe.My guess is thats why he did not eat for you .I would give him a couple days then try feeding him inside his enclosure just like before .If you change anything your ball python will react in a negative way to it
