Turning Stubborn Feeders

RussBates Jun 17, 2011 06:00 AM

Recently purchased some balls and the previous owner fed live or fk of which I don't have access to at least for now. In the past when I've had pythons like this I've just waited them out. Do you recommend I continue down this road or try something else? Are there any tricks that have achieved consistent results? Would hate to lose any of these snakes and I don't think I'm even close to that yet but wanted to pulse the crowd from recommendations.

Thanks,
Russ

thaw out a couple rodents of your choice...
warm them very well...

try them...

not like it...

warm them more...(hair dryer)...and hold them right on front of their face...

never touch a ball.....period...

never clean before feeding...or move....or wiggle or jiggle the cage....I am serious actually...

not any takers...?....warm them and put them in front of their face....and turn off light and go to bed....

not eaten...???....throw them away...

all you can do...
