By the way what do you guys feed your ball pythons? mine never wants to eat anything bigger then about 3 inches

i get a lot of customers with picky ball pythons, is he eating live or prekilled?

 

[snakeguy101]

are you feeding frozen/thawed or live? these guys usually don't have a problem switching from mice to rats.

im feeding live

 

[snakeguy101]

that may be why. try switching over to frozen/ thawed or prekilled mice. Your ball python may actually be afraid of the larger items since they can really hurt it if they bite back.

exactly what i was thinking, ive also heard of ball pythons that would only eat white mice/rats

Yeah, you can try different color prey, try soft furred rats.. lots of BP feeding strategies

sweet bro!!! i had a lizard once xD but thats bout it for reptiles.... is that iguana on the floor real?

lol, i have the exact same fake iguana! i do roughly the same thing. i put in some sucker's tent during a boy scout campout, sit back, and wait for the screams of terror and shock. the funniest time has to be when we all stayed up until 11:00 at night, everyone else was asleep, and i pulled it on a kid who (literally) won't go within 10 feet of an anole! hilarity ensued.
