Ball pythons are famous for that. I've had success before dipping the mouse or rat in egg before offering it. Poking a hole in the head so some of the brain matter starts coming out also helps sometimes with picky eaters.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh, good. I thought I was just doing something wrong. I currently have him in a 10 gallon long, it has a heater under the tank, but he spends most of his time ontop of the log right under the lamp. (I have a 50 watt bulb in it, but my lamp can sustain a 150 watt bulb. When I put in a 75, it's too hot for him. If I put in a 50, it's not hot enough. He's such a finicky little biznitch).

I'm not worrying about killing mice, or dipping it in Egg.

If he doesn't he, he doesn't eat. He'll eat eventually. The longest time he went was about 3 or 4 months. Yay cold blooded creatures!

ive never had trouble feeding my female ball she take anything i give her. my adult male thought went 4 months without eating after i got him.

Yeah. My snakes goes from time to time with out eating for a while.
