i dont know i have never experased it first hand but with people i have talked with who have wild caught Ball Pyhtons and they say that they grab anything that is put in front of them but that just what i heard

Are they feeding on live? WC balls rarely feed well on anything except live, and some won't even feed on that. These are difficult snakes to acclimate and unless you have experience in this situation, I would avoid purchasing a WC animal and stick to a CB or CH ball ;).

I dont realy know either but as long as they eat it ok with me. Im buying 2 this week from my pet store and the guy was saying that they are starting to eat beter every year.

[HetForHuman]

are you sure he is just not telling you this so you will buy them??
if it were me i would at least want to see them eat at least once before i bought one. and if they are WC i would be taking them to the vet asap.

Wc ball pythons are harder to feed, and will go for long fasts without eating. they are also full of parasites, and usually ticks, although the pet store owner will or shoudl have picked those off already. hard to sell a snake covered in ticks. I would stay away from WC balls, and find someone with some nice CB or CBB.

I know what you guys mea

my bad ignore that one. But i see what you mean about that but i saw them eat and i saw how clean and healthy there are. I still know how many prolems they have but theres diferet farmers and hunters [dont mine my words] these days that treat the animals beter. My friend whent to cuba last year and brang me these boyas and they came out to be good pets and we probably save there lives.
