finicky eater need help
I have an adult ball python that i got from a friend a week ago. She had him in with a female and he used to be a regular eater on hamsters but wouldn't eat when he was with the female (2.5 weeks). When i got him, i was told he should come around in eating since he was a regular eater. I've had him a week and last night he chose NOT to eat.
My question is....how long do i let him go without eating, i know some can go a year but i was wondering how long i should go without trying to force feed? he didn't seem to have any interest in the hamster whatsoever last nite and quite frankly he was scared of it. It was dead of course.
Can anyone give me suggestions? This is my first python and I have an idea what i am doing but i wanna know from other people how long i should go and some suggestions for trying to get it to eat. i have already tried the 'dipping in broth' thing.
