Our 75 gram ball python finally ate!!

Feeding ball pythons can sometimes be a daunting task, especially when they are new to captivity. These snakes may refuse food due to stress, environmental changes, or simply being a picky eater. If you find yourself with a ball python that won't eat, remember that patience is key. Creating a comfortable environment is essential—ensure the enclosure is warm enough, with a proper habitat setup including hiding spots and adequate humidity. You might also want to try different feeding strategies; offering food at night, when they are most active, can sometimes entice them to eat. If your python is still refusing food, it may be helpful to consult a veterinarian or reptile specialist who can rule out any health issues. Keeping a close eye on your snake’s shedding behavior, weight, and overall health can provide valuable information regarding their feeding habits. Lastly, remember that some ball pythons can go weeks or even months without eating, so it's important to stay calm and ensure they are healthy in all other aspects.
