I bought my first baby ball python 3 weeks ago.. This wednesday was my third attempt at feeding him and he just wont eat... I was told after the first week of him not eating to not handle him as it may be causing him more stress than what he is going through due to being introduced to his new home.. So i havent handled him in about 9 days.. On the second week of him not eating I was told that it could take up to six weeks for a baby ball python to start eating in its new home.. So this wednesday (5/25) was the third week that he didnt eat.. This is the first python i have ever owned so i really have no idea as to what i might be able to do... Is my snake sick? should i try feeding him pinkies instead of hoppers? Or i maybe im just overreacting.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance guys.
