I don't think it's a cure all - especially with balls since we know that many of them get stuck on things of certain size, color, smell (probably why its so hard to get a WC to eat in captivity). But for a last resort it's a gateway to getting them eating and (hopefully) moving them on to domestic rodents. I certainly wouldnt used them for a snake that is just off feed for breeding season.
