What Mykee said. Mine recently switched over on the first attempt, and has now accepted a F/T rat three saturdays in a row. Hopefully you'll get lucky, but if you don't, don't give up. Once you start the battle it's important to fight it out. Just make sure your snake is at a healthy age/weight and then do it. Eventually he/she should come around.

Ball Pythons can go for along time with-out food so try for 4 feeding attempts but just feed him once every week liike norm.

try getting him on pre killed first then to F/T that will probably be easier.

1) offer a f/t and see if he/she takes it on his/her own
2) try to make it seem alive by holding the mouses tail with forceps and lightly brushing it against the bp's face or bumping the mouse into the snake's side a few times
3) leave the f/t mouse in the snakes hidebox overnight
4) try braining the mouse (take a paperclip and use it to stab through the mouses brain)
5) bait & switch (let your bp see a live mouse and then offer f/t)
6) only offer f/t food once every few days till the bp gets hungry enough that it changes its mind

I have one like that, what I do is once she grabs on to the dead rat, I tug on it a bit to make her think its alive and struggling, then leave her alone and she constricts and eats it. Try that, it may work. you may have to tug for a minute or so but it should do the trick
