So tonight the fiancee and i took the snake babies to Petsmart to look at new accessories to buy them and the kitties, and i was going to get some pinkies to try and feed booger, my baby ball python. I thought i noticed him lately getting a little sluggish and wrinkly but didnt think too much about it cause when i hold him hes usually pretty active and curious and wanted to explore. It wasnt until i got to petsmart my friend met him and was like hes adorable but hes getting a little thin. which at that point i knew i had to do something cause i tried EVERYTHING but force feed. the other night a friend of mine came over and actually taught me how to force feed him in case this was to happen but the pinkies that i was told were pinky mice we infact pinky rats so the 12 i bought for him werent the right size but my baby boa loves them.

After i got them some moss to help with the humidity and a box of pinkies (which are effing 10 bucks for a small box of 6) i came home and SUCCESSFULLY fed Booger!. Sadly since he still wasnt taking it even after leaving him in a container with the pinky over night i knew i had to. i force fed it which he actually took it fine and quick. everything went perfectly, he didnt bite he even came into my hand after he fed and i put him back in his cage and hes taking a nap. Im so excited. I dont know if i should keep doing this till he start feeding on his own or do i try leaving it or keep force feeding him?.
