No - your attitude and response to those answering your question is what is "touchy". I'd suggest taking it down a notch or two.Originally Posted by MDB
did I start a thread on a touchy subject or what??? lmao
You say no one knows your experience, and perhaps that's true, so the only thing that people can "judge" you on are the posts on subjects that you have shared with us so far, and they demonstrate very little experience with ball pythons in general.
As to your original question - I've never had to force feed, even with an animal that fasted for almost a year.
Just a note on your WC - the Barkers also note in their book that WC's can take as long as a year and a half to ever take their first meal - they can be that traumatized from being ripped out of the only life they've ever known to being brought into captivity and having a predator (you) hovering over them, even in a very limited way (changing water for example) and hearing strange noises and having a prey type that they've never seen in their life offered to them, etc.
