When my ball pythons have gotten loose, I have put out a thawed mouse on a plate always works but may take a few weeks. I have had balls go 4-5 month without feeding. I have one 4 year old female ball python from VPI in Texas that if yours does not turn up you can have for just the shipping. I dont breed normals anymore. She is healthy feeds on ft rats and mice is about 1050 grams. Hope yours turns up
