just a quik question here. I am wondering why every one has problems with balls?i have bought adults from petstores and captive hatched aswell from stores and i have never had a problem with them eating. I feed my snakes mice, hamsters, rats, and gerbils all the time none of my snakes have been on a strictly rat or mice diet, all of them get a varied diet and they all do just fine from the start. None of my snakes have gone off food for more than a meal or 2 ever and i have had many over the years. In fact i just treaded a litter of dragons for a nice female ball python on monday in calgary, i brought her home ( 2.5 hr car drive in a snake bag) put her in her tank and she ate 2 mice and a large hamster within 30 minutes with no reservations about me watching so why is every one else always so frustrated that theres wont eat? Just curious!!!!here's a pic of her!
